xmlquery · Keeping XML namespace declarations off the XPath attribute axis

Rudy Celekli’s engineering portfolio · AI-assisted summary

Problem

xmlquery exposed xmlns and xmlns:p declarations through @*, altering attribute counts and positional predicates on namespaced XML.

Engineering response

The XPath navigator skips namespace declarations when traversing attributes and keeps the source attribute representation available for XML serialization.

Evidence and scope

The contribution records passing Go and race checks with controls for ordinary attributes, xml:lang and serialized namespace declarations.
