XQuery support

Hi,

I know this has been discussed several times and it seems the
conclusin was it's impossible if we would like to use existing XQuery
external modules (some are by license reasons and some are by
techinical reasons).

So it seems the only way to support XQuery is, developing our own
XQuery functionality from scratch. I'm wondering if other people reach
the same conclusion as me, or is it a totaly impossible project?

Well xquilla on top of xerces should get us pretty much were we need to
go. They are both under the Apache 2 license, which I believe would be
ok. But they are C++ so I don't know if we could use them.

I found Zorba, its C++ and Apache 2. But I don't know much about it. But
it looks promising.

Sedna is a complete db/xquery solution licensed under Apache 2 and
written in C/C++. Perhaps we could use pieces of this. Better than
starting from scratch.
