Thank you, 

As we are moving fast toward a release, I won't be able to upgrade just now. Will try within the next few weeks.

France

…yet another update: with the latest snapshot [1], database options
can also be set for a particular operation:

(# db:chop false #) {
  parse-xml('<xml> hi </xml>')
}

At least for now, this won't work out for updating expressions, which
will only be evaluated at the very end of a query. The new feature is
documented at [2].

Hope this helps,
Christian
