Yes, I mean Application.

Actually Rex appears somewhat of a mystery to most of is as it is not
Open Source. I am very interested to hear that you believe it is
written in XQuery. Not to question you exactly, but can I ask if this
is known as a fact or more of a rumour? I can't find any official
information about it.

So I should probably add that I need these Applications to be Open
Source as I was to generate some statistics about their use of vendor
specific functions.

Excellent suggestion! Thanks Michael.
