Re: [xml-dev] What niche is XQuery targeting?

I'm surprised by the continuing length of this thread. Isn't it obvious 
that both XSLT and XQuery have advantages, a reason to exist, and a market?

Why condemn one language because it does use an XML syntax, or condemn 
the other because it does not? Why condemn one language because it has 
FLWOR expressions but not templates, or the other because it has 
templates but not FLWOR expressions?
