I'm not sure what you're getting at here. Why should a constraint expressed
in a declarative language be harder to express than the same constraint in a
procedural language? Why are multiple tags needed?

Can you give me an example of a constraint which is difficult, or verbose,
to express in a declarative language such as XQuery?
