Prakash,
> The question is why would they bet on XQuery and not XSLT? XSLT is
much more powerful in my mind
As the ex-architect of that given XQuery implementation, I can tell you
that:
(a) no, XSLT is not more powerful; in fact it is LESS powerful. XQuery
is richer then
XSLT 1.0 (no typed data support...) and XSLT 2.0 seemed less widely
adopted
(b) with a single shot we killed multiple birds: the same XQuery
implementation
was used for message transformation, for WLI XML data manipulation, for
pub/sub,
and for data integration.
(c) XQuery is more optimizable (but I **really** don't want to open
that discussion again,
so just forget what I said ...:-)
Best regards,
Dana
