Re: Abbreviated form of XSLT?

Hi David,

I'm surprised no one brought up XQuery; mind you, it doesn't have
templates, I suppose, so it doesn't quite fit the bill...

surely you weren't suggesting that anyone would actually like
xquery's looks like xml but isn't syntax?

No, but I do have a *bit* of a soft spot for XQuery's *non-XML*
element/attribute creation syntax, especially since it looks so
similar to RELAX NG:

  element foo {
    attribute bar { 'baz' }
  }

If XQuery dropped the pseudo-XML and adopted XSLT's processing
paradigm, they could be onto a winner ;)

Cheers,

Jeni
