W3C Announcement: ten new XQuery/Xpath/XSLT drafts

[apologies for multiple postings...]

W3C's XML Query and XSL Working Groups have published today (May 5) TEN drafts. 
Of these ten documents:
a) TWO are documents that are now in LAST CALL status (Data Model, and
   Functions and Operators). The Last Call period for these two drafts 
   ends on 30 June 2003.
b) ONE is a brand new one (Serialization).
b) SEVEN are updates of existing documents (Requirements, Use Cases, XQuery, 
   XPath2, XSLT2, Formal Semantics, Full-Text Requirements).

As a convenient facility to track what's changed with this new drafts, 
diff versions ara available for the Data Model, XQuery, Functions and Operators
and Xpath2 specifications. 

Moreover, the Grammar Test pages have been updated, so to support the latest
XQuery and XPath versions.

The XML-Query home page 
http://www.w3.org/XML/Query
has been correspondingly updated with all the relevant pointers.


Comments on the drafts should be sent to 
public-qt-comments@w3.org 
(archives at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-qt-comments/ ). 

For general XQuery discussion, you should use instead the W3C discussion forum 
for Query Languages (www-ql@w3.org )
archived at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ql/

Latest versions of the XQuery drafts are always available from the XML Query
page (http://www.w3.org/XML/Query ), also containing other information on
XQuery like documentation and implementations.

Latest versions of the XSLT drafts are always available from the XSLT page
(http://www.w3.org/Style/XSL/ ), also containing valuable information on XSLT.
