Right, I have the same in my implementation. It is however counter-intuitive in
cases like my example because unprefixed names normally receive the namespace of
the module where they appear (I made a mistake myself:-).

IMO the current() function should stay, but the text in sec. 6.4.1 has to be
changed:

OLD
  Names without a namespace prefix belong to the same namespace as
  the identifier of the current node.

NEW
  Names without a namespace prefix belong to the same namespace as
  the identifier of the context node.

If there are no objections, I will file an erratum.
