Dear X-Query list, Thank you all for the quick responses. I regret not wording my question more carefully, but what I was asking was why someone decided, once upon a time, not to support this function in XQuery. That developers have added the functionality to their products, and that it will be a core part of XQuery 3.0, is useful information, but it doesn't explain why it was omitted in the first place. I'm not complaining about the decision, either; I'm just asking whether anyone on this list was privy to the reasoning behind it.
