[xquery-talk] Is there any tool/plugin to verify the xquery coding standards?

[Adam Retter]

I think it could be valuable for us (W3C WG?) to come up with a coding
standards for XQuery, so that when we look at XQuery code its all
formatted the same.

i.e. Where should braces go?

declare local:function($a, $b) {
  ()
};

or

declare local:function($a, $b)
{
  ()
};

i.e. Where should return statements go?

let $x = $y return
  $x

or

let $x = $y
return
  $x


I think you get the idea...
