RE: [regrep] XQuery Support

["Smith, Neal L. (NealSmith)" <NealSmith@chevrontexaco.com>]

I would like to see XQuery support in V3 if as a very high priority, with
support for Reg/Rep's query language becoming optional.

At ChevronTexaco we continue to be very strong advocates of cooperation
between OASIS ands W3C.  When W3C has (or is close to completing) a workable
standard in a particular area, we should use that standard if at all
possible.  The payoff for us is better interoperability among the various
product we will buy in the future.

Since we already have the XQuery support
built-in to our Registry implementation as the underlying query engine this
is a no-brainer for us.
</David RR Webber>

That's exactly the point.  In very short order, nearly every XML engine will
have XQuery support built in.  Therefore, I would expect Reg/Rep
implementations that are based on XQuery to cost less.  We are strongly in
favor of products that cost less.

If we time this right, our V3 will come out just about the time XQuery
becomes final.  It may actually look as if W3C and OASIS are working
together toward a common goal of effective, interoperable eBusiness!
