Of the three items I originally commented on in this thread, I think the
semicolon issue is the most important.  I don't think a semicolon should
ever be required after a block that is already delimited by curly braces.
I'd guess it will be hard to make the case that including the semicolon
makes writing XQuery parsers significantly easier.
