[xquery-talk] [ANN] XQuery as a scripting language in IE

[Howard Katz]

iPhone!

I just had to write a fairly complex SAX-type parser on the iPhone because
XQuery isn't supported; it probably took me ten times longer than it would
have using XQuery. I'm suspecting that the iPhone team decided not to move
the Mac's native XQuery support onto the device because of memory
constraints.
