(Originally reported by Dana F.)

Should the update facility provide means to modify some components of the
dynamic environment? In particular this question concerns the following
components:
(a) the variable values
(b) the available documents
(c) the available collections

Should we be able for example to add a new document to the set of available
documents ? Or should we be able to modify the sequence of items that is bound
to a certain variable name as part of the dynamic environment ?

What about  modifying the other components (e.g. implicit timezone, default
collection,  etc) ?
