Liam: "Forest", this is the most beautiful name, the most meaningful one, I can imagine for what is now called XQuery. (I suggest to leave out the "Fast".) Incredible. Hans-Jürgen Liam R. E.

I regret not pressing harder to push the Working Group to rename XQuery to FastForest and to refer to databases as forest stores. My purpose was to head off the ideas that the database must load the XML text files every time there's a query and to emphasize that they can be really fast. -- Liam Quin, W3C, http://www.w3.org/People/Quin/ Staff contact for Verifiable Claims WG, XQuery WG Web slave for http://www.fromoldbooks.org/ _______________________________________________________________________ XML-DEV is a publicly archived, unmoderated list hosted by OASIS to support XML implementation and development.
