[Exist-open] XProc (Calabash) Status?

[Gary K. <ge...@ru...>]

The last update to xquery-xproc-xmlcalabash-module was about a year ago. The
README itemizes some current limitations. I would like to know if the
following limitations are still applicable, and if so can you suggest any
workarounds:

 

"Function signature will change soon to accept XML for pipeline, output, as
well as specify input/output/parameter ports and options... for now it's
primitive"

 

"p:xquery has no context with eXist, this is a big limitation, but there are
several ways around this"

 

I'm new to XProc, and have a lot of studying and experimentation to do. All
I really want to accomplish is to link multiple XQuery scripts together so
that the XML generated in one script is used as input in a FLWOR in the next
script, without explicitly creating temporary documents in the database. I'm
_assuming_ that is possible with XProc, but please correct me if I'm wrong
and I'll abandon this line of attack. Thanks!
