I don't.

No.

But I'm biased. I have no real interest in XQuery. It's a
non-queriable, non-transformable subset of XSLT 2.0. I should care
why? No, don't answer that. There are lots and lots of good reasons
for XQuery and I'm not moved or excited by any of them.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
