SECTION 2.2: processing model
First para after figure 1, third sentence:
"The external processing domain includes the generation
of the data model".  But the data model is an 
abstract framework describing the kind of data found 
during an XQuery execution.  Confer "XQuery 1.0 and 
XPath 2.0 Data Model" Introduction, second para, for
a definition of "data model".  If anything "includes
the generation of the data model" it has been the 
W3C group working on that specification.
Perhaps what you mean here is "The external processing domain 
includes the generation of the data."
Of course, the data forms a time-varying collection
of values, so it might be more accurate to say
"The external processing domain includes the 
generation of the initial values of the data."
