The class gnu.mapping.Values is uses to implement
XQuery sequences that are not a single value.  The
result would not be a String.

I recently added (in CVS) a toString implementation
for Values, but it is better to avoid using it.

See http://www.gnu.org/software/qexo/Running.html ,
especially the "Calling XQuery Expressions from Java"
