using BEFORE operator in XQuery

Hi there, was wondering if the XQuery processor in Saxon8.1.1 would accept the BEFORE operator in XQuery... For example, it's used in the Xmark query below: -------- FOR $b IN document("auction.xml")/site/open_auctions/open_auction WHERE $b/bidder/personref[@person="person18829"] BEFORE $b/bidder/personref[@person="person10487"] RETURN <history> $b/reserve/text() </history> -------- If not, is there an equivalent rewrite for BEFORE? Thank you.

This query would appear to be using a very old version of the language. For example, upper case keywords were dropped about 3 years ago. The "before" operator is probably the operator now written as "<<". Michael Kay
