1) Safari 3 apparently doesn't support the latest JavaScript (ECMAScript) release.
The following E4X script is ONLY supported by Mozilla browsers:
var e = <employees>
<employee id="1"><name>Joe</name><age>20</age></employee>
<employee id="2"><name>Sue</name><age>30</age></employee>
</employees>;
var names = e..name; // get all the names in e
E4X needs to be supported in Safari for parsing XML data vectors via SIMPLE JavaScript syntax. This is a valuable asset for interfacing with cross-platform servers.
2) Support XQuery. XQuery is the SQL-equivalent for XML.

Why did you file a bug report requesting E4X support when you were aware of bug 5381 which already covers that topic?
Retitling to match focus of this bug.

Is there any aim to support XQuery 3.0? Or we can close this?

We can close. :)
