You may or may not like recursive descent as a style. Our point of view on the MarkMail team is that XQuery with recursive descent lets us do everything XSLT would, and it gets the job done really fast.
I am sure that is true for highly structured documents like email. But say you have complex document schema similar to docbook (or even 25% of its complexity) and you want to convert that to XHTML, would that still hold true? Would the XQuery be maintainable?
I'd be curious if there have been discussions and what the results where regarding incorporating XSL in the MarkLogic DB. Is this something we can look forward to?
Don't get me wrong, I really like XQuery and think the MarkLogic DB is a great product. I would like to see it even better!
