I agree with that. It is an interesting release, and
hopefully someone with experience with the alphas can
tell us.

Yes, I think you can be reasonably sure that they will be using XQuery.
It would be nice to see what IBM actually said rather than this incredibly

issued a press release describing their marketechture?
