this looks more like a bug than like a difference in "dialect". I haven't 
really changed anything in the implementation. I just tried to fix a few 
minor things. But obviously, I broke something in the code. Can you send me 
the stack trace from the server's log or a part of your document to compare 
with?

Well, the XUpdate implementation should be feature complete by now. If 
something doesn't work as expected, it's a bug ;-)
