As far as I know, things like how do you joining documents efficiently or
windowing queries. Navigating into deeply nested data.
String collations, math functions, the whole date time data model.

JSON document stores have been designed for scaling out and the processing
capabilities are extremely poor. They try to catch up (at least that's what
I'm seeing in some products). I feel that the XQuery expertise should be
reused in this space. This is one of the goals of the JSONiq project.
