The only reason I can think of creating a separate repository is to
provide a clean break from the Xalan code base. But, since XQuery is a
superset of XPath, I imagine it will reuse the Xalan XPath code. Will
it?

Do you plan on providing a standalone JAR for XQuery? If so, it seems
it would depend on Xalan's JAR.

If that's carrying too much weight, doesn't it make sense to break up
Xalan into a Maven multi-module JAR with XPath as a standalone JAR?

We're back to the Maven conversation I know... and I offer apologies
for not having put more time in here.

If the XQuery code will reuse any non-XPath functionality from Xalan
then a plain dependency on Xalan is needed as mentioned above.

My personal bias is to keep it all in the one git repo unless there is
a compelling argument otherwise, and I don't know what that argument
is here ;)

HTH,
Gary
