I agree with the desire to use standards, but want to remind readers that,
while XQuery is obviously beginning to stabilize (based on reading the
public Working Draft documents available at the W3C site), it is *not* yet
finalized and is thus subject to change (conceivably considerable
change). Therefore, "standard XQuery" is a term that does not yet apply to
anything at all! Caveat programmer!
But stay tuned!
