David, Ken…
You know the XPath/XSLT side of the story.
I know the OTHER side: the XML Query Language Working Group side of the story
Yes I know that side of the story too (I think I read all the xquery
mailing list discussion, and implemented xquery 1 over XSLT, as you may
recall I think I was the first person to submit test results for an
Xquery 1 implementation to the XQ test suite:-)
(and the two haven’t been integrated until much later..)
Which was of course a major failing of the original Xquery proposals.
It was staggering that an W3C XML query language should _not_ start from
that base. Fortunately It was redrafted to sit over Xpath.
XQuery 1 was basically (and should have been defined as) a non-xml
syntax for a simplified subset of XSLT.
David,
