Re: [Exist-open] [bug] Variable <var-name> is not bound

[Wolfgang M. <wol...@ex...>]

Hi,

yes, this seems to be a bug, but I don't know yet where to fix it. My query 
works if I add the "local" prefix to the variables ($local:context). And 
indeed, the XQuery engine seems to be confused about the default namespace, 
though there should be no connection...
