I wouldn't wish XQueryX on anyone, but it seemed to be exactly what you were
looking for. I'm now confused about your requirements.

# Almost perfectly, thanks (wish I had thought of that).

# Given that we already run Saxon going the whole nine yards 
# might make even more sense. However, I'll note that the 
# verbosity of XQueryX makes XSLT look like Perl by way of 
# comparison. It strikes me that we could also use XQuery for a 
# validation language similar to the way Schematron uses Xpath; 
# if a query does not return a result set the statement is not 
# regarded as valid?  If so, we could write directly in XQuery 
# and skip XQueryX?
