Many thanks, Christian! I can confirm that it works also in my environment.
Greetings, Hans-Jürgen
PS: Generic processing requires that namespace bindings do not get lost, as
they may be required for the interpretation of content. Hence I have to make
sure that all namespace bindings are preserved. A distinction of namespace
bindings which would be created anyway - because required by node names - and
other bindings would be cumbersome. Also, for cosmetic reasons (in order to
avoid repetitive namespace attributes) the input document may have declared all
namespace bindings in the root node, and this policy should also be preserved.

Thanks, Hans-Jürgen,
looks like a bug; we’ll track that down.
I assume you can simply omit the following line, as the necessary namespace
declarations will automatically be added (unless you want to enforce the
adoption of namespace declarations that are not required):
in-scope-prefixes($n) ! namespace {.} {namespace-uri-for-prefix(., $n)},

Dear BaseX folks,
constructing elements, I encounter a problem with namespaces which I do not
understand. Is it a bug or do I overlook something?
To reproduce the problem you need to create an XML file "doc.xml" with this
content:
<doc xmlns="http://basex.org/simply/the/best";> <foo bar="1"> <peng/>
</foo></doc>
And here's the query:
declare namespace f="http://basex.org/does/its/thing";;
declare function f:pretty($n as node()) as node()? { typeswitch($n)
case document-node() return document {$n/node() ! f:pretty(.)} case
element() return element {node-name($n)} {
in-scope-prefixes($n) ! namespace {.} {namespace-uri-for-prefix(., $n)},
$n/@* ! f:pretty(.), $n/node() ! f:pretty(.) } default
return $n};
let $doc := doc('doc.xml')return f:pretty($doc)
What I get is this error:
Stopped at
C:/projects/tableman/prototype/thieme-showcase/xq/demo-namespace-problem.xq,

Strangely enough, you do not get the error if you copy the contents of doc.xml
into the query:
let $doc := <doc .../>return f:pretty($doc)
You also do not get the error if you remove the @bar attribute in the document.
Kind regards,Hans-Jürgen
