My point is you can use the prepare step to validate the query. It's not compile
time, but it's pre-execution.

Suppose I want to [build | buy ] a query logger, performance monitor, trace tool
or query designer that's programmed in C++ or Visual Basic. It can process or
generate XQuery strings, but it's unlikely to "understand" encrypted Java
bytestreams.
