Hi, right now I’d prefer to focus on getting further along on the path to XQuery 1.0 compliance. There’s still quite some work between us and XQuery 1.0. And XQuery 3.0 and 3.1 contain a significant number of new features (both in the data model and in the language). I think that it’d be better to strive for 1.0 compliance with a few 3.0/3.1-based extensions (the group-by cause comes to mind) than to aim at 3.1 immediately.
