[xquery-talk] FLWOR Expression

[John Snelson]

You can just use the XPath expression "as-is" in XQuery - you don't need 
to decompose it into loops (unless thats what you *want* to do).

My tip, however, is to not use the "text()" selector. It is generally a 
bad idea, as it almost certainly doesn't do what you expect it to do. 
This FAQ entry explains more about this:
