I think John is confusing the meaning of "functional" here. Dimitre

I am sure John knows what functional means. I was commenting about
the
use of XQuery as opposed to xsl's identity template with some
exception
templates. It sounds like he think XQuery is better at this type of
thing.
Yes. It's a few lines of easily readable XQuery Update, versus a few
complete XSLT templates and an explanation of how the identity
transform
works.
Really? Show me how you use typeswitch (or whatever you would like to
use) to handle the XSL equivalent of exception templates in a few lines.
