Agreed: that would be a fascinating and potentially very useful comparison.
It seems odd to me that I've never seen an article comparing actual XSLT and
XQuery code for say moderately complex operations. Lots of pontificating
back and forth but no actual code comparisons that I'm aware of. Anyone know
of any?
