Re: [XQuery 1.1] XML-mapping support and explicit parallel FLWOR

You are right. But take a look at result mapping and compare it with
suggested

<root>
  {
     doc("data1.xml")/doc/
 (
   a/<field1>{text()}</field1>,
   <detail>
   {
     for $a in b[1]
                return attribute atr1 { $a },
      table/row/<line>
    {
    column1/<A>{text()}</A>,
    column2/<B>{text()}</B>
       }
  </line>
   }
   </detail>
 )
  }
</root>
