Ignore the name. Lots of people agree that updates are really important.

Do you like the current draft, or are there things we should change? I 
can't comment on internal W3C timelines or upcoming drafts, but I do 
think that updates are moving right along now. I also think we were wise 
to wait until the XQuery 1.0 foundation was solid before adding updates.
