--- Comment #1 from Andrew Eisenberg <andrew.eisenberg@us.ibm.com> ---
I'm not sure that I understand your concern. We say, "If an XQuery 3.0
processor processes a module labeled with a version of "1.0", it must either
raise a static error [err:XQST0031], or attempt to process the module with an
XQuery 1.0 processor."

An XQuery 3.0 processor can also be an XQuery 1.0 processor if it recognizes
XQuery 1.0 syntax and provides XQuery 1.0 semantics.

An XQuery 3.0 processor might be given:

xquery version "1.0"; count(./products/product)

and return 12.

It might be given:

xquery version "1.0";
for $p in ./products/product
group by $cat := $p/category
return <products category="{$cat}" count="{count($p)}" />

and return XPST0003.

This allows an author to use some XQuery 3.0 processors to write XQuery 1.0
modules that will work with other XQuery 1.0 processors.
