  I have run into an odd problem trying to use the Saxon-JS 2.3 browser-side SaxonJS.XPath.evaluate method to select text nodes which are in the original parsed XML marked up as a CDATA section. The native XPath 1.0 implementation of the b...

  Not surprising, the SaxonCS code for wrapping the XmlDocument DOM has hardly changed from the code in Saxon/.NET, except for conversion from Java to C#. Help: RE: Does XdmNode.NodeName expose whether a CDATA section is wrapped?

  While using SaxonCS on an input wrapped around an XmlDocument I find that the `XdmNode` representing a text node in the XDM tree has `NodeName` property indicating with a `QName` of `Q{}#cdata-section` that as CDATA section node in the D...
• 
  Michael Kay This is certainly a bug, since Q{}#cdata-section is not even a valid QName.
  Also (and I would need to check if this is actually implemented), XDM does not allow adjacent text nodes, so adjacent text/cdata nodes in the DOM should be wr...

  Bug #5143 (New): SaxonCS: in a wrapped DOM, an XDM text node wrapping a CDATA node is named Q{}#cdata-section

  SaxonCS: in a wrapped DOM, an XDM text node wrapping a CDATA node is reportedly named `Q{}#cdata-section`. It should have no name.

  It's always a bit difficult to respond to an email that says "I tried everything and nothing worked". It's always easier if you give exact details of one thing you tried and exact details of how it failed.

  Bug #5141 (New): SaxonCS build is not running XQuery Update tests

  XQuery Update is largely untested in SaxonCS, except for a handful of unit tests.
  The same was true for years in the old Saxon/.NET product, so it's possible that (a) it works perfectly without being tested, or (b) that no-one is actu...

  I'm not motivated to keep this on the list any longer, I don't think the need is strong enough to require action. Feature #4989 (Closed): Make adaptive output method serialize dateTimeStamp as xs:dateTimeStamp instead of xs:dateTime

  Saxon JS 2.2 serializes an `xs:dateTimeStamp` with the adaptive output method as `xs:dateTimeStamp(...)` while Saxon Java (tested with HE 10.5) outputs `xs:dateTime`, whether the value is of type xs:dateTime or of the subtype xs:dateTime...

  I'm closing this request as we can't provide any further help without clarification of the request. Feel free to reopen if you have new information to add. Support #5108 (Closed): Inheriting the optional property from the parent element definition to all the child elements

  We wanted to check if this feature is supported in Saxon where constraints/properties applied on parent element definitions are inherited from parent element to child element
  For example: If parent is defined an optional element (minOcc...
