I don't think it is a novel notion. In
http://www.xml.com/xml/pub/1999/03/quest/index3.html XQL is clearly
described as an extension of the XSL transformational part. I didn't find a
formal requirements document for XQL, if there is such a thing, but I assume
that compatibility with XSL would appear in such a document if and when it
is written.
