Some implementations also follow an earlier syntax first proposed by
Dana, Don, Jonathan and myself and then implemented in a master thesis
in Germany. Examples are Tamino, SQL Server 2005 where you can say:
delete doc("foo.xml")//wsdl:binding
or
delete //wsdl:binding
depending on whether the document is implicitly bound (as in SQL Server)
or explicitly referenced.
Also note, that this expression is doing an update to stored data and is
not a projection expression (functionality that is related to updates
and part of the XQuery Update Requirements).
