Well that comment is a head scratcher, but never mind.  I do this pretty much every day in my day job, without the merest shred of XQuery.  As a matter of fact it's pretty interesting that in one of my recent projects I led development of a particularly intensive multi-hierarchical project in

pipelining code in Python (the target corpora was represented in XML).  Another group re-implemented it in XQuery, for reasons I fully understand. However, after taking one look at the XQuery the greater update by other

participating groups has been through the Python code.
