Bug in XPath: Incorrect result of applying the namespace axis

Hi all!

I would like to report a bug in the XPath implementation, and since
I unfortunately cannot get access to the bug database, I report it
here:

If I apply the XPath expression: "/inner/namespace::*" to the following
example xml instance,

<outer xmlns:a="A" xmlns:b="B">
  <inner xmlns:c="C">
  </inner>
</outer>

I get a result node set containing only one namespace node, namely
"xmlns:c". What is missing, are the namespace nodes "xmlns:a" and
"xmlns:b", which should have been propagated to the child element.

Can you please tell me, if you already know of this bug, and if
somebody is working on it.

Regards, Gregor
