This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
(Originally reported by Dana F.) The current update specification does not provide any means for modifying collections (i.e adding new nodes to it, or deleting notes from it). (Note: modifying an XML tree -via parent-child relationship -, which is supported today, is a semantically different operation.) Should the update facility provide this functionality ?
This will not be included in version 1.0 of the XQuery Update Facility. It may be reconsidered for some future version of the Update Facility.
