There are several implementations of XQuery that work on a single document and that people say are useful. > my feeling is that it's more fit for a set/database of documents, > i.e. libxml2 might be used to implement an XQuery engine on top of > some database but just for within libxml2 it's not worth it. As it stands today I don't know how good a fit libxml would be -- for XPath 2, nodes are typed, so you'd wanting to make some changes. Certainly you could use libxml's XMLReader API to build data model instances, though, and/or tie in to the W3C XML Schema validation. dbxml (which uses Quilla) is a viable alternative for many people, and the FLWOR Foundation is funding another, both in C++. If you are doing work in KDE, there's also an implementation from TrollTech (Nokia now).
