Prakash, > The question is why would they bet on XQuery and not XSLT? XSLT is much more powerful in my mind As the ex-architect of that given XQuery implementation, I can tell you that: (a) no, XSLT is not more powerful; in fact it is LESS powerful. XQuery is richer then XSLT 1.0 (no typed data support...) and XSLT 2.0 seemed less widely adopted (b) with a single shot we killed multiple birds: the same XQuery implementation was used for message transformation, for WLI XML data manipulation, for pub/sub, and for data integration. (c) XQuery is more optimizable (but I **really** don't want to open that discussion again, so just forget what I said ...:-) Best regards, Dana
