I strongly agree (and just said the same to Jonathan Robie on XML-dev) but given that, is there any point in having XPath2 weighed down with all this static typing machinery? It can be moved to Xquery-only without affecting Xquery. Removing that would go some way to restoring usability to Xpath2. Making static typing Xquery-only doesn't do anything to give usability to Xquery, but I've come to the conclusion that Xquery is really just for querying databases, ie extracting relatively small simple chunks from very large data sets, where preoccupation with typing at the expense of usable methods for navigating round a document tree are perhaps more reasonable.
