Yes but the XML Query WG has stayed away from this work since it does
not seem mandatory for XQuery 1.0.  

The WG has several experts in language bindings (e.g. they helped write
several of the SQL embeddings and helped develop conforming products)
but there is general agreement in the WG that language embeddings do not
meet the 80-20 cut for XQuery 1.0.

Subject: hst language binding for XQuery

Whenever XPath 2.0 is discussed in the latest specs,
its "host language" relationship is also addressed,
with XQuery being one of such languages. But is there
a notion of host language binding for XQuery itself,
the way it is supported for SQL preparation when the
latter is invoked through various APIs from Java, C++
etc ? Do XQuery developers envision such use of XQuery
?

Thanks!

Vadim
