First public Working Draft of W3C XML Query Language

The W3C XML Query Working Group has just published five documents, 
including the first public Working Draft of XQuery, the W3C XML Query Language.

Here are the URLs for these documents:

The first three documents should be reasonably accessible. The last two are 
more mathematical. Two other documents published the same day are:

XPath 2.0 Requirements

http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath20req

Note that XPath and the XML Query Language will be sharing a common 
expression language.
