Yes, this is definitely a bug. I'm thinking about how best to fix it.

Note however that the spec is not exactly the way you imagine it.

What should happen is that the xs:QName value passed in $elementName is converted to a string. This string is in the form of a lexical QName (prefix:localname). Because you specified the namespace attribute, the prefix part of the lexical QName should be used as the suggested prefix for the constructed element.

Subject: [saxon] version 9.2 bug?

Hi,

im trying new Saxon-HE version and im getting error: Required item type of @name attribute of element is xs:string; supplied value has item type xs:QName(in saxon-B it was ok).
In this function:
<xsl:function name="functx:wrap-values-in-elements" as="element()*"
              xmlns:functx="http://www.functx.com" >
<xsl:param name="values" as="xs:anyAtomicType*"/>
<xsl:param name="elementName" as="xs:QName"/>

   <xsl:for-each select="$values">
     <xsl:element name="{$elementName}"
                  namespace="{namespace-uri-from-QName($elementName)}">
       <xsl:sequence select="."/>
     </xsl:element>
   </xsl:for-each>

</xsl:function>

i Was looking to w3c recommendation and i saw there, that Qname is ok. So am I missing something?
<xsl:element   name = { qname }   namespace = { uri-reference }   use-attribute-sets = qnames>    </xsl:element> thank you for your help.
