RE: [XQuery] MS-XQ-LC1-110

But we are not going to change the schemata in our examples. // has a
couple of issues, especially in the context of static type inference
that makes it not the best choice to formulate many queries and often
cannot be optimized better than the path expressions.

Best regards
Michael
