Unfortunately, I don't believe many people are using Kawa's XQuery implementation.
I don't get a lot of feedback (or bug reports) relating to XQuery.
I myself use it for the script I use to generate my photo-album web-pages,
plus it's part of Kawa's testsuite, but I don't spend much time enhancing it.
So XQuery enhancement is an ok project if someone is interested in it,
but if we have to choose between proposals (as seems likely), we're more likely
to prioritize another proposal.
If you do submit a proposal to work on Kawa-XQuery, I recommend you also
submit at least one other proposal.
Personally, I'd be more supportive if you wanted to work on one of the
GNU TexInfo-projects, which are also XML/HTML-related. However, texinfo(1)
requires facility with Perl and texinfo(2) requires facility with JavaScript.
