This is one of the main reasons for my initial post: I would like to know what kind of XQueries are written by actual users to gain some insight in the problems users are trying to solve. I could model my experiments by letting subjects write 'stylesheets' for docbook, but I'm afraid that this would not be a typical query application. But maybe I should not worry too much about this after seeing Per Bothner's example. :) Also for Jonathan Robie: thanks for the references! Joris Graaumans
