One of the requirements of the XQuery Update Facility is that it share the XML syntax that XQuery itself provides (called XQueryX). In fact, I am personally on the hook to draft a proposal for the XQueryX enhancements to support the XQuery Update Facility syntax. By the way, as Mike said, XUpdate is hardly a standard. The spec itself is incredibly incomplete and has effectively been abandoned. I am unaware of an update in the last few years. While there are several claimed implementations, it is difficult to imagine that they are interoperable in any meaningful sense because of the large areas left unspecified that implementors would have to define for themselves.
