Just a proof that, even if they DO teach XQuery, Stanford professors don’t understand what their are reaching.

Just look at the second bullet on the slide: “each expression operates and returns a sequence of ELEMENTS”.

Yep, XQuery lacks a little bit of  good tutorials and good books, and good teaching material.

Marketing, in general.
