[xquery-talk] xquery 3.1 wishlist

[W.S. Hager]

Hi Dana,

Great stuff, thank you for this brief history of xquery! It's good to
understand from your story that arrays don't add as much complexity as
there could have been with sets, bags and lists. However, that said the
array spec does seem a bit like a mixed paradigm solution. Let's just say
it's a mixed blessing, as IMO neither functional nor imperative typesystems
provide all the answers.
