I know it's a near hopeless case, politically, but I have no idea why there is not more consideration of XUpdate in these discussions.

It is marvelously simple and straightforward to use and implement.  (Of course, this didn't help TransQuery.)

It does have the added advantage that it's widely implemented.

I think it's far more elegant than all the other update proposals I've seen (some of which truly set my teeth on edge).

One problem, for sure, is that the spec needs polish.
