XQuery, XPath, and Data Model all use the same idea: an implementation can use XML 1.0 rules or XML 1.1 rules for whitespace and names. XQuery explicitly says that 1.1 implementations may wish to provide a 1.0 mode; I'd like to see this strengthened to SHOULD, to agree with the XML 1.1 Recommendation. The Functions and Operators draft refers to XML 1.1 support as a feature, but the datatypes are imported from XML Schema part 2, which does not deal with XML 1.1 names or strings. -- John Cowan <cowan@ccil.org> www.ccil.org/~cowan www.reutershealth.com Micropayment advocates mistakenly believe that efficient allocation of resources is the purpose of markets. Efficiency is a byproduct of market systems, not their goal. The reasons markets work are not because users have embraced efficiency but because markets are the best place to allow users to maximize their preferences, and very often their preferences are not for conservation of cheap resources. --Clay Shirkey
