Yes, Zorba and XQilla both implement the XQC API. It was developed by 
the Zorba and XQilla teams in a joint effort. The project itself is hosted on 
sf at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/xqc/. A brief intro doc can be found at
http://www.zorba-xquery.com/doc/xqc_intro.pdf.

It would be great if we could work together on this over at the zorba-users 
list.

Please find answers to this in my previous email.
