computed namespace constructors are part of XQuery 3.0 [1] and not yet part of BaseX. I also fear that, at the moment, there is no workaround that enables you to create namespaces dynamically (XQST0022 [2]).

Dear all,

I am trying to dynamically create an element using computed namespaces constructor and always I got the error [XPST0003] Expecting "}", found "m".

I am trying this example

let $nsURI := "http://example.org/metric-system",
$attrname := "metric:unit",
$attrvalue := "meter"
return
element {"altitude"} {
namespace metric {$nsURI},
attribute {$attrname} {$attrvalue},
"10000"
}

(from http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2003/09/10/xquery.html)

My question is is namespaces constructor supported?

Thanks in advance

Isidro
