Description
See https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xsl-query/2016Mar/0037.html
The WG believes that the XPath grammar allows expressions such as
12!(12 div.)
12 div-3
3!(12 div-.)
which Saxon cannot parse. The key point is that Saxon is reading the "." or "-" as a continuation of the token starting "div", which it should not do, because the tokenization rule is to accept the longest token consistent with the grammar, and in these contexts, an NCName containing a "." or "-" is not consistent with the grammar.
