Re: [Exist-open] namespace issues

You previously mentioned:

Is there a reason your queries have to begin with /*:root?  Why not
just query directly for //*:company ?

I'm not quite sure in what respect you mean "performant", but you can
query all documents for company with //*:company or
distinct-values(//*:company) .  Based on the returns of that query,
you can produce your report about the matching documents.
For example,

for $company in //*:company
let $report := $company/parent::*
return local:create-report($report)
