http://www.stylusstudio.comWow, somebody at Stylus Studio must really be excitied about this becuase,
in their zeal to tell about it, they've missed on rather important point
about XQuery in SQL Server 2005.
It doesn't support under defined functions.
Honestly, you'd think a vendor with a decent product like Stylus Studio is
would do a minimum amount of fact checking before hand.
Ugh,
