--------------------------------------
Type: Technical
Reported by: Erik Wilde <[email-masked]>

Section: 4.2.3

Original Text
-------------
Lastly, if the above two rules still don't apply, first all in-scope namespace prefixes of the evaluation context node are arranged alphabetically in an ascending order.

Corrected Text
--------------
n/a

Notes
-----
It is not entirely clear what "arranged alphabetically" refers to in this section. Sorting can be done in a variety of ways, and while many environment may have standard sort orders, not all are the same and for this standard to be implement consistently it's important to clearly state what sort order the above sentence is referring to. The suggested fix for this erratum is to add text that clearly states which sorting method should be used.
