Announcement: W3C's five new XQuery/XPath working drafts

[apologies for multiple postings...]

W3C's XML Query and XSL Working Groups have published today (April 30)
new updated drafts of the following specifications:

XML Query Use Cases 
  available at http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlquery-use-cases

XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0 Data Model 
  available at http://www.w3.org/TR/query-datamodel/

XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language
  available at http://www.w3.org/TR/xquery

XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0 Functions and Operators Version 1.0
  available at http://www.w3.org/TR/xquery-operators

XML Path Language (XPath) 2.0
  available at http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath20


General discussion on the drafts can be done in the 
 mailing list
(archives at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ql/ ).

Comments and feedback on the drafts solely addressed to the working
groups should instead be sent at  
(archives at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-query-comments/ ). 
Note you can't subscribe to this list, as it's just used one-way to
send comments and issues (so, it is not a discussion forum, you can
use  for that).

Latest versions always available from the XML Query page
(http://www.w3.org/XML/Query ), 
also containing an explanation of the above mailing lists.
