Re: micro operations versus xupdate and xquery update extensions

/ James Fuller <james.fuller.2007@gmail.com> was heard to say:

Unlike Xupdate and XQuery update facilities, the micro operations
don't update anything, they are really simple, streaming
transformations.

Does that help clarify things?
