Well I'll be blowed.

Does it mean that an XQuery statement is essentially a well-formed mixed-content XML fragment? I bet I'm not the only one who's noticed that the sometimes puzzling distinction in XSLT between the root *node* and the root *element* means that XSLT would need no formal changes to accept (multiple root-element) XML Fragments as input instead of (single root-element) XML Documents, if only the underlying parsers would parse them. Time for XML 1.1 to treat XML Documents as simply a special case of XML Fragments, and both to be considered well-formed. One day maybe. Equal rights for fragment types? Francis.
