I'm wondering, are there any plans to standartize
the XQuery/XSLT2.0 data model with platform specific APIs like was done with the
DOM? For instance, will we have an org.w3c.datamodel Java package (or something
similar)?
It seems to me that right now the DOM/SAX-based
standard for input to XSLT, XPath, etc. is causing a lot of overhead, because
each engine is practicly forced to convert the input into a more suitable form
(see Xalan's DTM for instance). Perhaps if there was a standartized way to pass
a suitable data model to those processors we could avoid the overhead caused by
the conversion.

I agree.
Fortunately, XSL, XPath, and XQuery use the same
data model now. I'm very
happy with the changes that will show up in the
next round of publication,
which make the document simpler and more
readable. This model is quite
similar to the XPath 1.0 data model, with
types added.
Jonathan,
I look forward to seeing
that next version of the multi-document edition of XQuery/XSLT 2.0/XPath 2.0.
I know you can't say "when" but is it close?
I guess we are moving to
an XML world with approximately two data models:
1. DOM in the browser for
SVG, XHTML etc
2. XQuery/XPath/XSLT/Infoset/AABSABI for the rest
Is
that approximately how you see it?
