Not only is the Perl deescription problematic, but a  language is not 
the same thing as a syntax, and XML does not need to be in a 
"collection" to be queried - we can query single documents, for 
instance.Locally and over the web are not the only two options - I can 
use a connection to a database server, for instance. Why not just:

      An XML query language.
