Re: [xml-dev] Serialization of XDM - Use cases / Proposal

Ouch.  If this cant be done in xquery syntax then my goal of 
de-serializing an XML representation using a XQuery example 
implementation is out the door.

Here's my best shot ...


attribute
   { fn:QName( "U" , "P:N" ) }
   { my:IdType( "S" ) }    (: wont work will it :( :)


Ok I admit I'm totally stumped.  *IS* there a way to re-animate this 
example using XQuery (or XSLT?)  ?
I have a feeling that my goal of providing a reference implementation in 
XQuery will be impossible.  Not even sure how to get element type 
information re-animated.
