Actaully ....It mightn't be too hard (which is why I want to get 1.1 out of the way) . Our current implementation of the xpath resolver defers final evaluation of the match to xalan. I don't think it would be too much of an effort to use saxon instead (which does support XQuery).
I haven't looked at saxon but if it is the solution for supporting XPath and XQuery, so be it!
Woo hoo. Another thing that would be fantastic is if the standalone server could be started and stopped for the xml-rpc tests :).
The idea is to start a fake server for the tests, test the xml-rpc xmldb api and simply hope that the war works.
