ResourceSet

[Kimbro Staken]

What are your thoughts on adding a getResultsAsResource() method to 
ResourceSet? This is something we've been asked for in the dbXML project 
as a way to return all results as a textual XML document. Returning it as 
a Resource enables you to get the results in whatever form you want. This 
is especially handy if you just want to hand the results of the query to 
XSL-T. The Resource content value could look something like.

<xapi:results xmlns:xapi="http://www.xmldb.org/xapi/ResultNS"; count="10">
        <somenode/>
        <somenode/>
        ...
</xapi:results>
Or possibly with more metadata.

<xapi:results xmlns:xapi="http://www.xmldb.org/xapi/ResultNS"; count="10">
	<xapi:result documentKey="1" 
collectionURI="driver:/path/to/collection">
		<somenode/>
	</xapi:result>
	<xapi:result documentKey="2" 
collectionURI="driver:/path/to/collection">
		<somenode/>
	</xapi:result>	
	...
</xapi:results>
