Default namespace for QNames in xsl:catch
100%
Description
If an unprefixed name appears in the list of NameTests in xsl:catch, Saxon is using the value of xpath-default-namespace (the default namespace for elements and types). Is this right?

I think XSLT 3.1 ยง5.1.2 (on xpath-default-namespace) suggests that the xpath-default-namespace attribute should NOT apply to NameTests appearing in xsl:catch. The general tone of this section is that it enumerates the places where xpath-default-namespace takes effect, and that "other names" than those listed are not affected.

Looking at this further, I think the handling of unprefixed names in element-available() might also be wrong. The rules for element-available() say "If there is a default namespace in scope, then it is used to expand an unprefixed lexical QName." It's not 100% clear what this means.
