<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>During a recent XQuery <SPAN
class=508502405-03042008>O</SPAN>verview <SPAN
class=508502405-03042008>presentation</SPAN>, there were a couple of questions
raised which I <SPAN class=508502405-03042008>am</SPAN> searching for
answers:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> 1. Office Open XML (OOXML) is a file
format used by the Microsoft Office 2007 applications. Can XQuery be used to get
meaningful information from an OOXML document, or would it only return items
based on formatting aspects (all heading 1s, or all list items).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> 2. SQL is based in part on Set theory
from Mathematics, and Set algebra. It allows set operations "update all red
projects to green." Does XQuery support set algebra? For example, SQL join is a
set operation that has inner, outer, Cartesian forms. <A

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Do you have answers to those questions? If you do,
please do share!</FONT></DIV>
