<h1>The <xquery> element</h1>
<p>The <code>xquery</code> element of the configuration file contains properties specific to XQuery.
Remember that these are defaults, they can always
be overridden for specific queries. An attribute whose value is set to a zero-length string is ignored,
the effect is the same as omitting the attribute.</p>
