[xquery-talk] Screen-scraping with XQuery

[Erik Bruchez]

Good question. I guess the issue is more "how can I embed an XQuery
program within an XML document" than directly related to XPL. What
happens if you escape the internal opening brackets within attributes:

<a href="{concat("a", &lt;B>thing&lt;/B>}"/>

Does this make a difference for XQuery?
