can't call the outer most return value by name - BaseX-Talk - mailman.uni-konstanz.de

      Odd, one can see <R> but not access by it. Run this:
declare function local:K($x){
  switch ($x)
  case 2 return <R><name>N</name><o><name>Y</name></o></R>
  default return()
};
"
A",local:K(2)//*:R,
"
B",local:K(2)/o/name, (: shows we are already at the root :)
"
C",local:K(2)/., (: reveals R is really in there, but can't be called by name :)
"
D",local:K(2)/./R
What's the deal?
