The closest Requirement to what you are looking for is: "The XML Query Language MUST be declarative. Notably, it MUST not enforce a particular evaluation strategy." This requirement attempts to ensure that the XQuery specification does not mandate the use of "indices" to achieve "performance" or "speeed" (sic). /paulc Paul Cotton, Microsoft Canada 17 Eleanor Drive, Nepean, Ontario K2E 6A3 Tel: (613) 225-5445 Fax: (425) 936-7329 <mailto:pcotton@microsoft.com> > -----Original Message----- > From: Tim Bray [mailto:twbray@antarcti.ca] > Sent: Friday, February 08, 2002 6:27 PM > To: www-xml-query-comments@w3.org > Subject: Xquery requirements: performance? > > I note a complete absence of the words "performance", "speeed", > "index", and "sublinear" in the Feb. 15th 2001 Query Requiremnets > document.
