Agreed.   I was disappointed with the XML-QL proposal and would
sooner have used XSL to do a transformation.   If XQL merges with XSL that
would be even better, provided it doesn't become so complex that it makes an XSL 
processor too hard to write.  

You will probably still want to separate your query from the stylesheet, but it would be
nice if the language was the same.   What would you call that, "XTL"?
