> query/integration/transformation tool, might someday be a plugin to a
> browser (eg, Chrome; Chrome/Wave)?

> enterprise data warehouses etc. So my interest in
> xquery-in-a-web-server-browser is so I can do cool things with data.
> I'm not interested in actually creating an xquery plugin that would
> make this possible. I wouldn't even know how to start.
