You need to be aware that XQuery 1.0 is still a draft specification and
that it changes between releases. Not all the implementations are
synchronized.

You would probably be better off asking coding questions like this on a
more specialized list, e.g. the list at www.xquery.com But if you do,
you will need to provide a specific example of the source documents you
want to query and the results that you want back.
