put-001.xq uses a "sandpit" approach with hardcoded paths instead of the approach proposed and implemented by Andrew in his mail "tests for fn:put in XQUTS" (November 6th 2008) Since the "new" test cases provide sufficient coverage of fn:put, I propose to drop this query
I think the put-001 test does one thing that the newer tests fail to do: it writes a file whose contents will be different on different days of the month, which means that if your "put" implementation is replaced by a no-op, or starts writing the file to the wrong place, you will notice. (This does have the slight drawback that the test will fail if the two steps are run different sides of midnight, but I think the chance of that is sufficiently small to not worry about.) So I intend to keep the test, but will replace it to use a URI defined by the catalog rather than a fixed URI as is done by the other tests.
