There's no plan to do update in XQuery
version 1.
Michael,
That is and remains a
disappointing scenario.
You're not the only one who's disappointed. Everyone wants to do
update. But even more than doing update, we want to get a spec out as soon as
we possibly can.
I've only joined the XML Query WG very recently so
I'm not that familiar yet with what's published and what isn't, but I'm sure there's no intent in the WG to be
secretive.
Getting XML Query out is a long haul. There's a lot
of "new science" in the work, and standards committees are not a very
productive place to do new science. The delays are frustrating for all of us,
but trying to do everything in version one won't speed things
up.
