While thinking about xquery-based designs, I realized I have been assuming the following requirement. What do other folks think? 3.X Limited complexity Less expressive languages are easier to implement, deploy, secure, and optimize (cf the Principle of Least Poser in an essay on design principles for the Web[1]). Since a large and interesting class of applications can be addressed with query languages that are less expressive than programming languages, this design should not involve a turning-complete query evaluator. The halting problem must not be expressible in this query language design.
