Namespace Consistency within Collections

[Ben Hood <be...@gmx.net>]

Hi,

I couldn't find any reference to the namespace consistency within 
collections in the documentation/mailing lists so I'm wondering whether 
it's self explanitory or not.


Using the Birthday build it seems that that you can't query elements 
namespaces that aren't consistently declared in each document of a 
single collection.

If this is a feature, this implies that each document in a collection is 
homogenous respective to a schema definition. Therefore you can't query 
heterogenous documents within a collection. Is this the intention? (This 
could well have something to do with the internal mapping or storage 
(which I am not familar with)).

Another thing I've noticed is that you can't use the xmlns attribute 
itself as an Xpath predicate. Is there a reason behind this?

Cheers

Ben
