Partly.  But only a small part.  It's late because the WG heroically 
decided they were going to SOLVE THE WHOLE QUERY PROBLEM DAMMIT, and 
bit off an immense glob of schematype-laden semantics that could and 
should have been left out.  XQuery should have been a quarter the size 
and been done in a third of the time and by now we'd have real field 
experience as to which of the left-out bits might actually have been 
useful.  Bah. -Tim
