[Joe Lapp]

You are right... 0 through 2.  FYI, XQL dropped the $$ notation due to rampant nose wrinkling.  Also, XPath supercedes XQL as the standard mechanism for locating data in a document, while XQL, XML-QL, Lorel and other languages serve as input for a more general XML document/repository query language that the W3C is designing.
