When I first read Roger's post, the first thing I thought about was  
XML Schema processors are fine.

But, XQuery processors differences is closer to the analogy of browser  
wars. Not the W3 spec defined aspects, just the things that most  
people use them for it seems. (I am thinking mostly of the XML  
database vendor's approach to using XQuery as a webapp templating  
language)

I wonder if anybody in the real world actually create cross processor  
XQuery code.
