So the question is: what would it mean for an XQuery database to expose a SQL API? It would require a mapping of the XML data model onto a relational data model, which inevitably would require discarding some information. What information exactly? Would it be possible to access every XML document, or just some of them? -- A poetical purist named Cowan [that's me: cowan@ccil.org] Once put the rest of us dowan.
