[basex-talk] collection('i_do_not_exist')/users/user[@name=()] is () even if i_do_not_exist does not exit

[Omar Siam]

Hi,

Either I found an interesting new XQuery feature or a bug:
collection('i_do_not_exist')/some/path[@attr=()] retruns the empty 
sequence whereas

collection('i_do_not_exist')/some/path throws an error err:FODC0002 so 
does collection('i_do_not_exist')/some/path[@attr="i_am_an_attr"]

Am I missing something?

Best regards,
