Seven XQuery, XSLT, and XML Path Working Drafts Published | "Even the controversial overlap with XSLT could be a long- term strength if it allows ordinary SQL-trained developers to do straightforward XML data reformatting without having to wrap their heads around the recursive template processing design pattern." Mike Champion via Cafe con Leche... "I doubt most XSLT users care about XQuery at all, except in so far as it seems to have hijacked XPath 2.0 development" Jeni Tennison. 
The Absent Yet Present Link | "Perhaps the most common reaction to the possible ubiquity of href was simply to wonder why the XHTML Working Group hadn't decided to use XLink. Many XML developers seemed to be wondering whether, if it wasn't suitable or appropriate for use in XHTML 2.0, XLink had any future at all." [XML.com]
