Hi,

Would I be correct that the following type of XQuery should be translated to a 
sequence of REST calls using a tx-id.
So, a single simple XQuery update such as:

if (xdmp:exists(doc($documentUri)))
then (
 if ($timeCode < xs:dateTime(doc($documentUri)/document/header/timeStamp) )
 then ()
 else (
  xdmp:document-insert($documentUri, xdmp:unquote($xml), 
xdmp:default-permissions(), local:getCollections())
 )
)else (
 xdmp:document-insert($documentUri, xdmp:unquote($xml), 
xdmp:default-permissions(), local:getCollections())
)

Would be translated to a number of REST calls:

Get a transaction; /transactions
Invoke XQuery to get time stamp using the tx id; /query
Update Document using the tx id; /documents

Or is there a better way of doing this using the current REST API spec?
There could be a lot of I/O etc for something quite simple.

I may have missed something here so please do point me in the right direction.

Cheers
Jem
