In fact, very many well-formed XQuery queries are also well-formed XML documents, and in many cases putting something like <foo>bar</foo> will produce the same infoset whether you put it through an XQuery processor or through an XML parser. This means that the other cases, those where a query is a well-formed XML document but has different interpretation, are particularly pernicious. Michael Kay
