Hi
I wonder why there is no KindTest for namepace nodes. In
particular, we can't write something like:
if ( $arg instance of namespace() ) ...
Of course, as this is the only kind of node that doesn't
have a KindTest, it is possible to rewrite it as:
if ( $arg instance of namespace() ) ...
if ( $item instance of node()
and not($item instance of attribute()
or $item instance of comment()
or $item instance of document-node()
or $item instance of element()
or $item instance of processing-instruction()
or $item instance of text() ) ) ...
Hi Florent,
A more compact expression giving the same result is:
$item intersect $item/../namespace::*
