XPath 2.0 and XQuery 1.0 changes
Erratum XQ.E34 is implemented. This affects what can appear after a "/" at the start of an expression. Certain constructs that can appear at the start
of a relative path expression are now recognized, when they were previously rejected as errors: for example /element{a}{b}
or /
or /unordered{x}
. Some other constructs that were previously accepted are now rejected, for example / instance of document-node()
(this
must now be written (/) instance of document-node()
).
In XQuery 1.0 and XQuery 1.1, the pragmas saxon:stream
and saxon:validate-type
are now ignored (with a warning) if running
Saxon-HE or Saxon-PE. Previously they caused a static error.
