No. You said "Saxon's syntax (sic) is not a la XPath,
mine is".

Because we can use XML, also :-p.

About syntax, the Saxon way *is* XPath, so nothing new.

Yes, in both case. In the other hand, one use a
well-known function, the other not.

So you can't specify recurse or not. At least in XPath.
The function *have* to recurse and construct a document
containing information about all the subtree. What about:
collection('file:///?select=*.xml;recurse=no')
vs/
file('file:///')/*[matches(@extension, '\.xml$')]
if / contains recursively milions of files?

Not a file. A document. Remember we are speaking about
collection(), and collection() retrieve documents.

Mmh, I speak about the concrete example you gave us:
file('...')//*[...]. You didn't say what file() returns.
It is a crucial point.
