Hmm.... so this is procedural:
for $b in document("bib.xml")//book
return
<publication>
{
$b/title,
$b/author
}
<publication>
And this is declarative:
<xsl:template match="//book">
<publication>
<xsl:copy-of select="title"/>
<xsl:copy-of select="author"/>
</publication>
</xsl:template>
I don't see why one of these is any more declarative than the other.
