I don't think that every feature that appears in XQuery has to be in XSLT
and vice versa: just because you can do something with your hammer doesn't
mean you have to be able to do it with your screwdriver as well. XQuery
badly needed in-situ update because it does not have the ability to make
small changes to a document using the "modified identity template" coding
pattern.
The idea of in-situ updates leads to a lot of architectural complexity,
especially in a non-database environment. I think XSLT is likely to stick to
the basic model of transforming an input document to create an output
document.

Subject: [xsl] XQuery Updates in XSLT
I have tested XQuery Updates in Saxon SA 9.1 and it works
like a dream. I was wondering if something similar is going
to be available in XSLT? How can XSLT do without such a
killer feature?
Cheers,
