(I've only gone thru >about a third of them.) Thanks for the pointer. I've just glanced through some of them. Definitely worth reading. For those who are interested, the direct link to the list of papers is http://www.w3.org/TandS/QL/QL98/pp.html. A pity that some of the papers can only be viewed by W3C members, but there's a lot of good stuff anyone can look at. It is obviously useful for the XSL pattern language to be compatible with X-Query-L (whatever it turns out to be). Several papers refer to the excellent point that the mechanism for constructing the results should also be compatible between the two languages. See the XSL working group's position paper for example (http://www.w3.org/TandS/QL/QL98/pp/xsl-wg-position.html). Of course, if this happens, one would be forced to consider whether XSL shouldn't be specified as the set of formatting objects. The part of the specifications describing the transformational capabilities would replaced by a reference to X-Query-L. This would require the "construction" part of X-Query-L to be stronger then is customary for a query language, but the benefits would be great.
