XQuery support?

Hi,

Do you have any ideas about XQuery and Cocoon? Is there anything planned?

I think it might be a good addition? If you're interested, I can write a 
longer e-mail stating my ideas on this subject?

Yes, it's not Cocoon's job to implement XQuery; I jsut know of eXist who 
supports it now.
Do you know any OSS implementaitons?

Have played with an embedded eXist some and found some annoying quirks 
(crap handling of namespaces, mostly) but as long as you don't ask 
anything too complicated of it, it seems to work very well. I haven't 
played with the 1.0 beta yet so they may have fixed the namespace 
issues (one of the big ugly ones is the "throw an exception because we 
haven't implemented this, but make it a generic exception with no 
explanation" type problem) I was hitting -- I never got a response on 
the mailing list to the problems though =/

I am interested. I'm hacking out a persistence engine to work with
    Cocoon and Saxon (XSLT 2.0 and XQuery 1.0) that supports XUpdate.

Saxon provides kickin' XQuery support. eXist is supporting XQuery as
    well, but I've not worked with it yet.

I think Cocoon should not provide its own XQuery implementation but rely 
on external tools. Doesn't for example Saxon provide at least 
rudimentary XQuery support?
