XQuery, XPath and XSLT Last Call

I note a LC which perhaps be reviewing, perhaps in a coordinated fashion 
with DAWG.
There's masses here, and we are unlikely to be able to do much of it, I 
estimate a couple of thousand pages.

2005-04-04: The XML Query Working Group and the XSL Working Group 
released twelve Working Drafts for the XQuery, XPath and XSLT languages. 
Seven are in last call through 13 May. Important for databases, search 
engines and object repositories, XML Query can perform searches, queries 
and joins over collections of documents. XSLT transforms documents into 
different markup or formats. Both XQuery and XSLT 2 use XPath 
expressions and operate on XPath Data Model instances. Visit the XML 
home page. (News archive)

     * XML Query Use Cases:
       The motivations of XML Query explained in examples
     * XML Path Language (XPath) 2.0:
       Expression syntax for referring to parts of XML documents - Last Call
     * XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0 Data Model:
       For both XML and non-XML sources - Last Call
     * XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0 Functions and Operators:
       The functions you can call in XPath expressions and the 
operations you can perform on XPath data types - Last call
     * XSLT 2.0 and XQuery 1.0 Serialization:
       Defines how to output the results of XSLT 2.0 and XML Query 
evaluation in XML, HTML or as text - Last Call
     * XSL Transformations (XSLT) Version 2.0:
       Using XML schemas, transforms data model instances (XML and 
non-XML) into other documents including into XSL-FO for printing - Last Call
     * XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language:
       A non-XML, Perl-like syntax for querying collections of 
structured and semi-structured data both locally and over the Web - Last 
Call
     * XML Syntax for XQuery 1.0 (XQueryX):
       A precise representation in XML of the XML Query language, 
suitable for machine processing and introspection - Last Call
     * XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0 Full-Text Use Cases:
       Examples for full-text search over data model collections
     * XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0 Full-Text:
       A full-text retrieval facility for XPath, XSLT and XML Query
     * XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0 Formal Semantics:
       The type system used in XQuery and XSLT 2 via XPath defined 
precisely for implementers
     * Building a Tokenizer for XPath or XQuery:
       Strategies for writing an XPath parser
