The following describes the errata for the W3C Working Draft "W3C XML Query (XQuery) Requirements", dated 02 May 2003, located at http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/WD-xquery-requirements-20030502.
In Section 3.2 General Requirements, subsection 3.2.1 on Query Language Syntax is currently as follows:
- 3.2.1 Query Language Syntax
- The XML Query Language MAY have more than one syntax binding.
Status: this requirement has been met.
The XML Query Language MAY have more than one syntax binding.
One query language syntax MUST be convenient for humans to read and write.
Status: this requirement has been partially met. XQueryX was last published in June 2001. This has been captured in issue 152 ( W3C members only)
Instead, the subsection, consistently with the previous version of the Working Draft, should have been as follows:
- 3.2.1 Query Language Syntax
- The XML Query Language MAY have more than one syntax binding.
One query language syntax MUST be convenient for humans to read and write.
One query language syntax MUST be expressed in XML in a way that reflects the underlying structure of the query.
