Does SQL Server 2005 Express support XQuery Static Type Analysis?

I am quite curious about SQL Server 2005 Express, since I am conducting an XQuery implementation survey for my thesis study.

Yet I still got some questions and may need your help:

1. Does SQL Server 2005 Express support XQuery static type analysis (from http://www.w3.org/TR/xquery-semantics/)?

2. If so, since the W3C standard is still changing, how do you keep up
with the change efficiently?

Your help will be appreciated.
Happy New Year and Thank you,

hi Selina,

SQL Server 2005 XQuery implementation is alligned with the July 2004 Working Draft of XQuery http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345122.aspx ...

when using a specific tool, you can and obviously should be concerned with the changing stages, but should focus on the actual implementation "as is" for the day by day uses..
