SV: SV: [xml-dev] New XSLT, XPath, and XQuery drafts - but still no update?

["Jens Jakob Andersen, PDI" <jens.jakob.andersen@post.dk>]

Hi Jonathan

This is interesting, but also what worries me (and has worried me all the time.)

If the spec doesnt take care of Update, vendors will implement their own syntax & semantics, and there will be no standard.

Then XQuery will _not_ become the SQL of XML.
