This is an interesting idea. Before fully embarking on it we must be well a= ware that most if all not all EXSLT functions are fully runnable in XPath, = and therefore in XQuery, which is a superset of XPath. EXSLT.NET is an example implementation that allows EXSLT functions to be ev= aluated=A0within XPath expressions=A0independently and completely without X= SLT: =A0=A0 http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms950808.aspx Therefore, to have an independent EXQuery is meaningful only for extensions= that will be specific to XQuery. A logical conclusion: = =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 = =A0=A0=A0 1. Trying=A0to re-implement existing EXSLT extensions=A0is a huge= and unnecessary waste of effort. =A0=A0=A0=A02. To have an independent EXQuery is meaningful only for extens= ions that will be specific to XQuery.
