There is very little difference between XQL'98 and the abbreviated syntax
of XPath. XQL '98 may best be regarded as a predecessor of XPath.
Most of the kinds of queries people tend to do with SQL may be done on a
native XML representation using a query language called Quilt
(http://almaden.ibm.com/cs/people/chamberlin/quilt.html), which uses the
abbreviated syntax of XPath, but also provides tree construction and joins.
This seems more natural than mixing XQL and XPath - it uses one XML model
for the data, instead of combining a relational model with an XML model.
