But I would have expected this to work also (but it doesn’t):
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:variable name="qmap" as="map(xs:QName, item())" select="map{ Q{}xx:
'aaa' }"/>
<RESULT size="{map:size($qmap)}">
<xsl:value-of select="map:get($qmap, Q{}xx)"/>
</RESULT>
</xsl:template>
The expression xx means ./child::xx, it does not mean the QName ("", "xx"); and
the same remains true if you write it as Q{}xx. Bare names in XPath expressions
are short-hand for a selection on the child axis.
It's a shame that we didn't add a QName constructor function taking an EQName
as input, something like QName("{}xx"); but that wouldn't be very much of a
convenience over QName("", "xx") unless you are reading the EQName from
somewhere else.
