Greetings, I believe XQuery is missing an important feature; the ability to serialize a document in URI form, so that the resulting URI may be used as an argument to the GET method. Consider the recent TAG finding regarding the use of HTTP GET; "Use GET if [...] The interaction is more like a question (i.e., it is a safe operation such as a query, read operation, or lookup)." -- http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/whenToUseGet.html Being able to perform a query via GET requires that a URI serialization of the query (i.e. the XQuery document) be provided. Without this, the only way that querying can be performed interoperably would be via POST. Thanks! Mark. -- Mark Baker. Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA. http://www.markbaker.ca
