XQuery's powerful, all right, but it's kind of complicated, so I 
thought it wouldn't be a good thing to suggest to someone who's 
already dealing with learning the Cocoa APIs.

(Personally, I was never really able to figure out XQuery. XPath is 
sort of "XQuery For Teh Dummiez", and saves me enough typing that I 
stick with it instead of limping back into the ring for another bout 
with XQuery.)
