The XQuery type system is based on W3C XML Schema. To claim otherwise implies you haven't read the document. Besides the fact that it says so explicitly[0], in section 3 entitled 'The XQuery Type System' where it states "The XQuery type system is based on XML Schema. XML Schema defines a notion of validation for XML documents." --- Oh yes, I read that. I wonder why [[ define element entry { type Book } define type Book { attribute isbn { xs:string }, element title { xs:string }, element author { xs:string }*, } ]] looks so awful much like the RELAXNG non-XML syntax :-)))) But I am glad they are soooo careful to let us know that this is based on XML Schema -- including the "interleave" feature... In any case I am pleased with what they've done, not why they said they needed to do it, nor how they claimed to have gotten the idea (both XQuery and RELAXNG appear to be derived from XDuce to where the real credit should be given).
