RE: Xquery vs XSLT

Hi Chris,

Unfortunately, I'm not allowed to say anything beyond what the public
documents say. The most pertinent areas to read are the snippet in the XPath
2.0 Requirements document, section 1.2 "Must Provide Common Core Syntax and
Semantics for XSLT 2.0 and XML Query 1.0"[1], and the latest XQuery drafts
published on June 7th. Note the title of the data model document: "XQuery
1.0 and XPath 2.0 Data Model"[2].

Public comments on these documents are always welcome.
