[MarkLogic Dev General] in scope prefixes

[Danny Sokolsky]

I don't think there are any unforeseen consequences, as that namespace prefix only exists in the context of the child-elem in $test1.

xquery version "1.0-ml";

declare namespace qqq="http://mynamespace";

let $test1 := 
<elem-a xmlns="http://mynamespace">
    <child-elem xmlns:oi="http://mynamespace">ccc</child-elem>
</elem-a>

let $test2 :=
<elem-a xmlns="http://mynamespace">
    <child-elem>ccc</child-elem>
</elem-a>

return (fn:in-scope-prefixes($test1/qqq:child-elem), fn:in-scope-prefixes($test2/qqq:child-elem))


When I perform a node-replace, a namespace prefix is added as shown in test 1. When I create the document, no namespace prefix is provided. What are the unforeseen consequences. XPATH still works. The oi prefix is now part of the document, so adding other elements would need different prefix.
