The April 30th draft? Yes, that's a fair bet. Today is May 7th. On the 
other hand, many of them support most of what is in the December 20th draft.

Actually, the XML Schema list is shorter. There are 12 tools listed on 
their tool page, but only about 7 of these are not schema validators, 
depending on how you count. XML Schema is a REC, XQuery is a Working Draft.

So the operant question is this: when XQuery is a REC, how many of the 
above implementations, or new implementations, will implement at least the 
dynamic type system, which is the part that will probably be required? I 
don't know. We made some big changes to our type system between the 
December and April drafts. I'm waiting to hear more from implementors. Our 
goal, at least, is to produce an implementable spec, and I think we have 
done reasonably well so far.
