Thank you for your report and suggestion.  This question has been considered in
the past and it was felt at that time that (a)there are philosophical
differences in opinion about whether XQueryX documents should be required to
start at a specific level in the grammar or if complete flexibility is better,
and (b)it was acceptable that not all syntactically valid (that is, validatable)
XQueryX documents have defined semantics (in the sense that they might be
translated to XQuery expressions that are either invalid syntactically or that
have unexpected syntax). 

Your discussion indicates that this issue needs some more consideration, which
will be started immediately.
