I think John is confusing the meaning of "functional" here. Dimitre meant "functional" as in "based on functions/templates, like Haskell or Scheme (as opposed to imperative)", and perhaps John interpreted "functional" to mean "it works, it's not broken". :) ~ Scott -----Original Message----- From: Robert Koberg [mailto:rob@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, October 29, 2008 2:06 PM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [xsl] XQuery Updates in XSLT On Oct 29, 2008, at 2:58 PM, John Snelson wrote: > Dimitre Novatchev wrote: >> On Tue, Oct 28, 2008 at 1:39 AM, Jesper Tverskov >> <jesper@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: >>> I have tested XQuery Updates in Saxon SA 9.1 and it works like a >>> dream.

This comment makes no sense. It is like saying a pogo stick is pretty good at getting you from point A to point B that would otherwise require a car. -Rob > > > John
