defining Schema in XQuery

[Matthew Rawlings]

Out of interest, why did the XQuery WG not permit the definition of Schema
within XQuery?

 

The WG gave us curly braces representation of XML, but no curly braces
definition of XML Schema. Often I wish to write some snippets of Schema for
use solely within an XQuery module for typing intermediate results. It would
be very useful to permit the definition of Schema in curly braces inside
XQuery, in the same way we can for XML.
