Without updates XQuery is somewhat to the database folks and will require them to retool their applications in a year to support updates anyway (planned obsolecense) or continue with their proprietary update mechanisms to please their customers.Without updates XQuery is a glorified of XSLT-- or XPath++ depending on how you want to look at it instead of the XML Data Manipulation Language it has the potential to be. > This is really the crucial question.

If there are already proposals AND implementations for updates floating around why would it take a year to reconcile updates with the XQuery spec? -- THINGS TO DO IF I BECOME AN EVIL OVERLORD #35 I will not grow a goatee.
