Interestingly Vadim Draluk has started a discussion
[http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ql/2001OctDec/0024.html] about
the challenge of addressing web services in XML Query. Since the inputs
to web services are typically xml docs such as SOAP messages as opposed
to URLs.
TranQuery nicely sidesteps the fact that neither XSLT nor apparently XML
Query has a standard way of invoking those web services which require
document-structured requests.
