There is no way (again: I know of) forThis fact certainly defines a limitation of XQuery and XSLT in a way that the absence of particular function libraries does not. The languages are designed for processing XML, and the type system they use is therefore strongly based on XML. The most recent drafts of the language add higher-order functions - functions as first-class values - and with a bit of ingenuity this allows arbitrarily complex data structures to be constructed, though not always in very intuitive ways. In the XSL Working Group we've recently been having discussions about adding other data structuring capabilities to the language, such as maps, structs, or tuples: no decisions yet.
