Given the amount of time that it takes to get a specification finished, I strongly urge the working group to give us a declarative update language (and the transforms for XQuery) as quickly as possible and postpone any such programming language extensions to the next release. There is a vast consistuency out there that wants an interoperable update language that is declarative in nature, and not yet another web programming language. 11264 1 mrys 2006-08-24 20:11:23 +0000 The Working group at its August 2006 F2F meeting decided that the XQuery Update Language will not include the XQueryP work, which may be considered as a seperate document on a different timeline.
