[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANJ-2335?page=comments#action_12448500 ] Henry Zongaro commented on XALANJ-2335: ---------------------------------------
The phrase "really important" was a poor choice on my part. What I ought to have said is that nobody has been able to describe a realistic scenario in which each element has to have its own unique set of namespace nodes for its in-scope namespaces. All the examples I've seen in the past involved stylesheets created specifically to test that aspect of the XPath Recommendation; they were not examples drawn from real-world stylesheets that were being used put to some useful purpose. Almost anything that falls outside of the former category would have satisfied my criteria for what constitutes really important. So, my thanks to you for providing such an example. You make an interesting point when you question whether this issue ought to have been closed as a duplicate of an earlier issue. I closed this as a duplicate of previous issues because they all represent one and the same bug, regardless of the distinct manifestations of the problem. By closing it as a duplicate, I don't intend to make it seem less important. In fact, I think that from the point of view of users, its advantageous to have multiple distinct issues closed as duplicates of one bug, despite the fact that they all describe distinct symptoms. That's because users can do things like all vote for the one bug that remains open, rather than having their votes diluted amongst four distinct bug reports. Regarding whether those older bugs should have been marked as "wontfix," I don't think they should have. That's why I've not moved to close XALANJ-1962, and if anybody else does close it as "wontfix," I will reopen it; it represents a valid bug, regardless of whether the namespace axis might have been poorly designed. > Xalan-J incorrectly identifies the parents of namespace nodes > ------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: XALANJ-2335 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANJ-2335 > Project: XalanJ2 > Issue Type: Bug > Components: XPath > Affects Versions: 2.7 > Reporter: Mike Brown > Priority: Minor > > Xalan-J 2.7.0 incorrectly identifies the parents of namespace nodes. > A namespace node's parent is supposed to be the element the namespace node is > associated with. > In Xalan, for a namespace node with an empty local-name, parent::* > incorrectly identifies the grandparent element.
