Namespace declaration and W3C standart

Question

Hello,
W3C has following specs for Namespace declaration in XQuery:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xquery/#id-namespace-decls
"[117]      NamespaceDecl      ::=      "declare" "namespace" NCName "=" StringLiteral
A namespace declaration declares a namespace prefix and associates it with a namespace
URI, adding the (prefix, URI) pair to the set of in-scope namespaces. The string
literal used in a namespace declaration must be a valid URI, and may not be a
zero-length string.[err:XQ0046] The namespace declaration is in scope throughout
the query in which it is declared, unless it is overridden by a namespace declaration
attribute in an element constructor.
The following query illustrates a namespace declaration:
declare namespace foo = "http://example.org";
<foo:bar> Lentils </foo:bar> "
BNF production grammar requires "declare" token to be placed before namespace,
while
Liquid Data reports parsing error if the word is there.
How close Liquid Data XQuery grammar to the W3C standart?
Also, does "of type" exist in XQuery ?
Sincerely,
Benjamin.

Thank you for quick answer.
Sorry, my fault - didn't notice that fact.
