Hello Michael,<br>
<br>
Thank you for your answer.<br>
<br>
Because a recommendation needs a long time to be published, as soon as
I will write my own XRX application, I will add to my XML script engine
"tXs" (something in between XProc and the XSLT machine shown at XML
Prague) my own XML notation for XQuery. I will publish it then...<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>

I think this requirement will keep coming up. It's frankly embarrassing that
in XProc, queries have to be escaped as CDATA. If we solved this problem,
all sorts of opportunities would open up - XQuery used for assertions in
XSD, XSD schemas embedded in XQuery modules, XQuery embedded in XSLT, XSLT
embedded in XQuery, XQuery embedded in XForms.
