XQuery has no support for the functions provided by XUpdate. However, a 
design goal was to do nothing which would prevent such support being 
added at a later time.

While one might see proposals for such support to be added to XQuery 
quite soon, the normal standards process will guarantee a significant 
wait for it to be complete, since the first version is still in "last 
call" at the W3C.

 From the latest working draft: "The XML Query Working group is working 
on a facility to allow XQuery expressions to be used to create and 
update persistent data."
