[xquery-talk] let's comment out a line in XQuery

[Michael Kay]

Clearly there are contexts in which commenting out a line of code will 
leave a query that is syntactically or semantically invalid. Why do you 
find this strange? Why do you expect us to be able to tell you why the 
remaining query throws an error, when you haven't shown us this query?

Or is this a Christmas quiz: invent a query such that removing line 26 
will cause this error?
