The requirements for XQuery were based on use cases, not on philosophy. Right, Jonathan. Every use case (except maybe update) should be considered critical and spared from possible trauma of any possible philosophical or aesthetic objection.

This is how we got XML Schema too, isn't it? Oh well. -- Simon St.Laurent Ring around the content, a pocket full of brackets Errors, errors, all fall down! http://simonstl.com
