Have you been reading my posts or someone else's? 
 
A.) I didn't claim that there aren't any problems with the recently
released XPath 2.0/XQuery 1.0/XSLT 2.0 family of specs. I said I hadn't
seen any substantive technical criticism on XML-DEV. There is a
difference. Heck, I've blogged about one or two issues I have with the
data model[0] quite recently. 
 
B.) I didn't claim there are no dependencies on W3C XML Schema. This
would be a particularly absurd claim to make given that the XQuery data
model describes an atomic type thusly 
 
"Definition: An atomic type is a primitive simple type or a type derived
by restriction from a primitive simple type. Types derived by list or
union are not atomic.]

The primitive simple types are those defined by XML Schema [XMLSchema
Part 2] <http://www.w3.org/TR/query-datamodel/#xmlschema-2> : "[1]

	Dare,
	
	You seem to claim that there are no substantive problems with
the XQuery/XPath/XSLT triumvirate, dismissing concerns as "irrational
FUD".
	
	You also seem to claim that there are no dependencies on XSD
Schema. Which I find an interesting claim. None? Really?
