Re: [xml-dev] Feasibility of "do all application coding in the XML languages"?
I agree that we need the equiv of EXSLT for XQuery quick ...
functional sigs are all different everywhere and all this is just
vendor lockin in a new disguise.
I'm going to put an article about that up on xml.com shortly. Dan McCreary was mentioning that you had covered this idea before but he didn't have a link handy, but I think your idea is sound. An EXQuery standardization library would go a long way towards reducing the balkanization that you see right now in the XQuery space.
