Description Daniela Florescu 2010-11-20 04:26:05 UTC 
The XQuery update  facility uses a syntax that is impossible to align with 
XQuery 3.0 syntax --  with respect to function annotations ("updating" being one
of them).

declare updating function foo(){}

vs.

declare % private function foo(){}

In more details:

vs.

===
Please make the two standards (XQuery Updates and XQuery 3.0)
 aligned. This misalignment is bound to cause lots of  grief 
in the future for: standards, vendors, and users, alike.

Thanks, best regards
Dana
