Any other way to do this would involve using implementation specific
constructs.
I'm surprised that you find it necessary to try to fool the query
optimiser into not getting rid of your trace() function call. I would
consider it a bug if it was optimised out of your query - certainly the
XQuery implementations I work on would not do that.
