I guess I still don't really understand the use case in which a richer set of primitives would help (since they're really all replace-based anyway). Is the need for more specific primitives purely based on performance needs? Jonathan: Thanks for the pointer.

The primitives are simple. You also might want to take a look at the primitives and consider which of the XQuery Update Facility primitives you need in your language: 3.1 Update Primitives 3.1.1 upd:insertBefore 3.1.2 upd:insertAfter 3.1.3 upd:insertInto 3.1.4 upd:insertIntoAsFirst 3.1.5 upd:insertIntoAsLast 3.1.6 upd:insertAttributes 3.1.7 upd:delete 3.1.8 upd:replaceNode 3.1.9 upd:replaceValue 3.1.10 upd:replaceElementContent 3.1.11 upd:rename If I were doing this, I might just translate these operations into an XML syntax. Jonathan Hi Keith,

I’d think the XQuery Update Facility (www.w3.org/TR/xqupdate/) would be a good match for this. The primitives are simple.

You also might want to take a look at the primitives and consider which of the XQuery Update Facility primitives you need in your language:

3.1 Update Primitives
3.1.1 upd:insertBefore
3.1.2 upd:insertAfter
3.1.3 upd:insertInto
3.1.4 upd:insertIntoAsFirst
3.1.5 upd:insertIntoAsLast
3.1.6 upd:insertAttributes
3.1.7 upd:delete
3.1.8 upd:replaceNode
3.1.9 upd:replaceValue
3.1.10 upd:replaceElementContent
3.1.11 upd:rename

If I were doing this, I might just translate these operations into an XML syntax.

Jonathan
