Hi,
I'd like to use qexo in conjunction with FastInfoset -- in other words, to use a DOM I've parsed myself as the context object (because qexo will not happily parse FI documents itself), and then take the result and serialize it myself. While the second part is relatively straightforward, I can't figure out how to convince qexo of the default XML context.
I found the following item from ten years ago:

All XQuery examples I've seen hardcode the input file in the script.

Generating the xquery dynamically just for this looks like massive

Thus in script.xql:
declare variable $input external; doc($input) > Then invoke it thus:
java kawa.repl --xquery input=file.xml script.xql
You need a fairly recent version of Qexo (I suggest the just-announced
release candidate of 1.8) to be able to use extenal variables.

Is this still the case? Or, has this feature been introduced?
