Right. Well, people can comment, but the overall design isn't about to change at this stage I hope.. There are always new comments and new ideas coming in, but XQuery and the other XML specs are widely used in encvironments where a "living standard" isn't appropriate, and a fixed version and strict conformance are important. I'd not be opposed to seeing a document describing experiences and notes for a possible future XQuery, as long as it doesn't get in the way of the train :-) Even if the Working Group closes, the language itself is very much alive.
