XQuery: editorial, major First paragraph in section 2 notes that the language does not allow variable substitution if the definition expression creates new nodes. This is only a particular case where variable substitution (and function inlining in the same time) does not hold, but there are other causes: validation context and element constructors with namespace declarations. This particular "feature" of XQuery that the semantics of an expression depends on the *syntactical* context it is placed in makes XQuery very different from most other programming languages. We should devote some space to explain this "feature" in more details potentially using some examples.
