Didier,
I am a bit confused why doing XQuery from XSLT would be useful.
My understanding was that XQuery really provides little
functional benefit over XSLT for many common XML processing
tasks. I have not followed the latest XQuery drafts but this was
my impression from the earlier versions. Are you thinking of
performance benefits or was this in the context of calling an
external XQuery engine from XSLT?
Thanks,
Kev.
