Hi Bryan - Absolutely true. And that's part of the point I was trying
to make. If the community of xquery developers is small, part of the
reason is the multitude of xquery implementations. That's not going to
change, but the various implementors might want to consider what they
have in common and then do something (eg, create an xquery learning
resource site) that would benefit all xquery developers regardless of
the flavor of xquery they use.

Yes, very definitely I am saying that part of the cause for Daniela's
lament originates in the balkanization of the xquery community.
