Hmm, so thats no good. We could put a saxon jar up on a people.a.o space for now to get xquery included in the build but I don't think we could release with it like that. And i think its only the saxon project thats able to get the jars published in the official repository so if they don't want to then not sure there's much we can do. ...ant
