[MarkLogic Dev General] Quirks of generating xhtml with xquery

[Michael Blakeley]

Sorry, Eric: that's XQuery 1.0 syntax vs MarkLogic syntax. I've been 
trying to learn 1.0 syntax. Apparently I've succeeded - but as already 
mentioned on this list, we should be using the MarkLogic syntax (aka 
draft 2005-03, aka 0.9-ml) for now.
