Yes, indeed! Thanks for this link, this looks cool.

With XQuery thingies instead of SQL thingies, this would amount to

NodeSeq orders = new NodeSeq("doc('orders.xml') // orders");
ForQuery fq = new ForQuery("$i", orders);
fq.setReturn("<result>{$i / id }{$i / totalPrice}</result>");
...
Node result = myConnection.doQuery( fq );
...

Any idea whether Joe has the intention of doing something like this for 
XQuery ?

Imagine how much more readble JDBC code would be if all JDBC driver 
would expect instances of SelectQuery instead of strings...

cheers,
Burak
