Dear Michael,

Actually, that’s GREAT news. 

This shows that they have some common sense, and some good taste  :-))
(unlike the CouchDB people :-)

Now, I cannot stop of asking myself…. why did they feel the need to “cover” the 
power
of XQuery with a home-grown/proprietary (AND very limited) XML/JSON mapping 
syntax ….!???

Any ideas !?

Best regards
Dana
