Over the last 10 years, members of the database, programming language and Web communities have developed a nice, purely functional (in parts) query language for tree-structured data called XQuery, including a formal semantics that is a (non-normative) W3C standard. Many people are now intent on adding imperative features so that tree-structured data can also be updated. I’ll present some work on a clean, nice, but not very expressive language called FLUX , and contrast it with the semantics of the W3C update proposal currently under development, focusing on the issue of typechecking.
