Javascript is already the language of the web; it's exceedingly
unlikely (read: basically impossible) for any new language to break in
and get supported by all browsers.  (Your best bet would be getting
browsers to agree on some interoperable assembly that *multiple*
languages can compile down to, but it looks like that already exists,
and is called "Javascript".)

Adding something XQuery-based would be an even harder sell than
normal, as XML in general has failed on the web, and it took its
attendant technologies down with it.

Note, though, that XQib is already supported without any browser help,
by installing a server plugin that appears to compile to JS.
