Simon,
I think XQuery is ok. It doesn't claim, implicitly, to be the only XML schema/XML query language.
We can talk of XML query languages (generically) and use the term XQuery to refer to the W3C flavour. That, to me, seems perfectly acceptable.

I'm starting to apply the same terminology to XQuery - W3C XML Query is
just one option among many. It's not my problem that the W3C uses a
naming scheme to effectively declare itself as the sole authority on
these subjects.
