Quilt: an XML Query Language
XML is an extremely versatile markup language, capable of labeling the information content of diverse data sources including structured and semi-structured documents, relational databases, and object repositories. A query language of similar versatility is needed to realize the potential of XML as a universal medium for data interchange.

Web databases and XML querying is a hot topic. I'd go so far as to say that an XQL is something essential. Indeed you can do a lot using XSL, but having a standard query language is crucial from an engineering perspective.

A more general paper, which gives a good comparison between various query languages is XML Query Languages: Experiences and Exemplars
