Dimitre, you're well aware that the specification is not a tutorial.

Yes, but if someone as knowledgeable as Dimitre can struggle to understand a spec then that leaves little hope for us mortals.
I normally learn by reading a book written by someone who understands the spec, Dr. Kay's XSLT books for example, and when I've mastered the basics use the spec if I have low-level queries that need answering.


This approach hasn't worked with XQuery yet, Amazon has no recent books on the subject, understandable given that the XQuery Update CR was only issued on 1 August 2008. Anyone know of any "in the pipeline"?
