No, I'm referring to syntactical differences and proprietary

try to rein this in.

A twisty maze of winding SQL standards, each different. As they say,
the nice thing about standards is that there are so many to choose
from.

...and it's been a draft for some time, but it does seem to be the way
xml updates are heading. But it seems to me that XUpdate (and XQuery,
for that matter) was developed to do the sort of things people are
doing with AJAX these days.
