False error when constructing default namespace

[jperterm]

According to the XSLT (3.0) spec <xsl:namespace> requires a name attribute, but its value can be zero-length effectively to create a default namespace node.

The following XSLT causes the false error XSLT: Invalid XSLT name: '' for the case described:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" exclude-result-prefixes="#all" version="3.0">
    <xsl:template match="/*" mode="#all">
        <element>
            <xsl:namespace name="" select="'urn:default-namespace'"/>
        </element>
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Thanks for reporting this problem. The linter was treating the name attribute of xsl:namespace the same as for other XSLT instructions where name must have a non-empty string value.

The issue has been fixed and is in the latest release: 1.5.8.
