Chris,

If really needed, some of us already coded containers mimicking arrays with
XQUERY3.0 (i.e. they would answer 7 to your question).
The bad point is that, would you need them for intensive computing, then I
would advise to wait XQUERY 3.1, because these containers suffers from
performance issues for algebraic operations, an inherent problem to XQUERY
3.0.

Hope this helps
