Summary: expat-2003-10-15 - something is broken or at least changed

Initial Comment:


(.. err, sorry for steppin' in late, again :-( )

I compiled my expat based project with expat-2003-10-15
and run my test suite. 

For at least some rare cases, there seems to be
something broken. I haven't any deep insights, so far,
but since I can't spend much more time at it this night
and in face of the upcomming release, I decided to just
yell, only with an example.

Please download the document
http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-xslt-19991116.xml

If I run 'xmlwf REC-xslt-19991116.xml' I get

REC-xslt-19991116.xml:396:0: unbound prefix

This seems wrong to me in two ways. 

First, without the -n option, xmlwf shouldn't care at
all, if a prefix isn't bound to a namespace. At least
xmlwf 1.95.6 (and prior versions) didn't care (and I
would say, this was right). 

And second, as far as I can tell, the claim itself is
false; there is a xmlns:e namespace declaration in
scope of that element. 

I stumbled over the problem while using the lib and
then tried to reproduce the problem with xmlwf, for
easy demonstration. So, if there is a problem, it's not
with the xmlwf tool, but with the lib itself.
