The unfortunate choice of those two keywords (“for” and “return” instead of 
“from” and “select’) in XQuery had 
such a HUGE impact on adoption (or not)  of  XQuery, it’s amazing.

It’s not too late to add the macros…..and make XQuery understandable to people 
who only want to see

select… from ...
