[xquery-talk] xquery 3.1 wishlist

[W.S. Hager]

Hmm, I'm not so sure. The if/else clause is pretty short as it is, and
semantically more clear. But it's another discussion altogether.

For me the paint points remain in array support/semantics. I thought it
best to let it rest for a while and see if the workarounds proof to be
feasible. I think I was too eager to address this in the first place.

Regards,
Wouter
