This may be one of those cases where I am not picking up the key piece of information across the multiple documents but at present I am unclear about what regular expression support is or is not present in XQuery 1.0 (and XPath 1.0). I note that XSLT 2.0 has recently added the <xsl:analyze-string> element to provide some regular expression support. In XQuery 1.0 / XPath 2.0 can a regular expression, for example, be used as an argument to the function xf:contains()? I also notice that the "TEXT" section in the Use Cases WD makes no mention of using regular expressions in full text searches. That seems, to me at least, a significant omission in the TEXT use cases. In fact, the Use Cases document seems totally to omit the notion of using regular expressions. I would be grateful if someone could clarify for me whether the seeming omission in the TEXT use cases has a corresponding deficiency of regular expression support in XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0.
