Yes, it's still under development. Various vendors have implemented various
parts of it even though it is still a draft.

We stated in the status section of the current draft "The WG remains
concerned that there are insufficient resources to continue development of
the Static Typing feature". This was essentially a warning to the community:
come and help us with this feature, or we will have to drop it. I think it
is very likely that the decision to drop the feature will indeed be
confirmed.
> Is there no more development for XQuery at all ?
No, the Static Typing Feature is an optional feature of the language, and
not many implementations provide it. If it is dropped, most users won't
notice the difference.

I don't know, offhand. I assume you are running everything on the same
machine? It may be something to do with your Java proxy configuration?
