I am using the latest sa version of saxon with -tree:linked -update:discard -sa flags having problems getting a simple use case with Xquery Update Facility working; let $var := document{$seq[1]/*} return delete nodes $var//test I get the error XUST0001: The body of a non-updating function must be a non-updating expression Static error(s) in query (note: I think non-updating function/expression is now known as 'simple expression') another simpler variation would be let $var := <test><a/><b/></test> return delete nodes $var//a same problem ... appreciate being corrected in either code or my understanding of XQuery Update Facility and how its supposed to work. thanks in advance. cheers, Jim Fuller
