[xquery-talk] Adding xml header to xquery result

[McAuley, Grant (LLU)]

I want to create an xml document as a result of an xquery and I need to
add
'<?xml version="1.0"?>' at the top of the file.  The few Xquery engines
I have tried complain if I add this to the xquery file.

I.e.:
	<?xml version="1.0'?>
	{
	for $x in doc('test.xml')//test
	where $x/@status = 'approved'
	order by $x/@f-id
	return
	<request>
		<name>{ concat($x/first,' ',$x/last) }</name>
	</request>
	}

doesn't work b/c of the header.


I want to see this output:

	<?xml version="1.0'?>
	<request>
		<name>Joe Smith</name>
	</request>

Is there a standard way to do this?
