Thanks for your response. So now I have more questions: 1.) So what happens if the XQuery WG decides to add update syntax & semantics which differ significantly from Jonathan Robie's draft as happened with Microsoft with both XSL/XSLT and XDR/XSD? 2.) So since you have schema importation abilities and schema aware processing can you tell me the results of this query according to your product Given the following schema <xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" elementFormDefault="qualified" targetNamespace="http://www.example.com" xmlns:myns="http://www.example.com"> <xs:element name="foo" type="myns:fooType" /> <xs:complexType name="fooType" > <xs:element name="bar" minOccurs="3" maxOccurs="6" /> </xs:complexType> </xs:schema> and the query schema namespace myns="http://www.example.com" at "http:/www.example.com/foo.xsd" $foo = <myns:foo>{ document("http://www.example.org/bar.xml")//myns:bar }</myns:foo> $foo instance of element of type myns:fooType what is the result according to your product or do the above 3 lines utilize an unsupported feature? Thanks again for your answers. -- PITHY WORDS OF WISDOM He who laughs last didn't catch on very fast, did he?
