Hi Folks,

From previous posts I have learned that:

1. The capabilities provided by XQuery is a subset of the capabilities provided by XSLT/XPath 2.0

2. The XQuery syntax is a hybrid - it has some XML characteristics but is not XML.

Norm Walsh notes: "It's a non-queriable, non-transformable subset of XSLT 2.0".

Given this, I am wondering what niche XQuery is expecting to fill? /Roger
