Well, I've always adhered to anything in the standard, so I really  
had a bad feeling about this. Still, I think it should be possible to  
do such easy things as getting the number of items deleted without  
resorting to some scripting language etc. Also, I'm not sure how it  
turns out, but if the single steps in an XQuery "script" really run  
transactionally separated, getting this information might still be  
problematic...
