XQueryX is a *standard* W3C Recommendation:

     http://www.w3.org/TR/2014/REC-xqueryx-30-20140408/
     http://www.w3.org/TR/xqueryx/

And at least for the previous version I think there was a Java-based
parser for XQuery, that produced an XQueryX XML document from an
XQuery expression.

Certainly XPath is a true subset of XQuery. This means that the parser
will successfully produce an XQueryX document for any input XPath
expression.

So, one will simply use *XPath* to navigate an XPath expression that
is converted to XQueryX.

I think it wouldn't be too much effort to refactor the XQueryX
grammar, so that a subset of it will be the grammar of what we could
call "XPathX". Maybe an idea for EXPath?
