(Originally reported by Dana F.)

Right now we are only able to modify the way nodes are organized together to
form conceptual trees. We do not have a way to modify the environment where the
XQuery processing executes. In particular, we are not able to modify the
content of collections, variables, document(). 

Without this ability, what would it mean to create a new top node unless we say
how will this affect the content of collections or variables that might make
this new node accessible to XQuery ?

Notes from minutes:

- How do you add or delete nodes from a collection?

- Which aspects of the dynamic environment should we be able to modify?

- How does deletion affect bound variables?
