XQuery is off-topic for this list; try the talk(_at_)xquery(_dot_)com list. 
It's just
as helpful as this list though it has a tiny fraction of the traffic - which
either means that XQuery is much easier to use than XSLT, or that no-one is
using it.

Subject: [xsl] XQuery basics

First off, I am not 100% this is the write place to ask this 
question, but in years past you all have been very helpful to 
me with XSLT and thought you might have some insight or know 
where I should go to get the help I need.

I have worked with DOM, SAX, XSLT, and XPath in the past and 
am now working with a framework that has XQuery.  The task at 
hand is very simple, change (or add if not present) an 
attribute to one element in an XML document:

Example: If the name element has an average attribute, change 
it to 93, otherwise create it and set it to 93
input:

<root>
  <students>
    <name value="scott"/>
  </students>
</root>

or

<root>
  <students>
    <name value="scott" average="90"/>
  </students>
</root>

output:

<root>
  <students>
    <name value="scott" average="93"/>
  </students>
</root>

Is XQuery like XSLT such that I have to build a little script 
that will copy everything from the source to the destination 
and make the change or add the attribute once I get to it?
