No, but I do have a *bit* of a soft spot for XQuery's *non-XML*
element/attribute creation syntax, especially since it looks so
similar to RELAX NG:

  element foo {
    attribute bar { 'baz' }
  }

If XQuery dropped the pseudo-XML and adopted XSLT's processing
paradigm, they could be onto a winner ;)

Cheers,
