[XQZone General] Re: [XQZone Announce] MarkLogic Server 3.0 Hits The Street

[Raffaele Sena]

Thanks Jason! 

I am sorry I missed the conference, but I'll look at the slides.

I tried the "declare xmlspace" and it fixed the specific case (I was 
generating the XHTML inline in an XQY page). I will have to try if it 
works also when processing stored XHTML documents.

I'll be back with the results... :)

Thanks!
