One thing which I've noticed as I've written customer facing apps in XQuery is the inability to stream a dynamically constructed XHTML page, RSS feed, etc. from the MarkLogic server. In other words, the entire page/response must be built in memory before the first byte can be shipped to the client. In some situations, this can be resolved by better page design, AJAX, etc. but this is always not practical. I'm not really talking about the ability to support 'byte serving' for binary content (such as PDFs) ... that is a completely different scenario (which of course others might find beneficial if it were addressed). I also understand this might be attributed to the XQuery specification and how things need to operate (well-formedness, etc.); but, on the other hand proprietary extensions are frequently added by vendors. So, I'm curious whether others have encountered this situation and perceive it as an issue for developing customer facing apps in XQuery.
