+ * its value from the XQuery implementation, as opposed to an initializing expression. Here

+ * global variable:
+ *
+ * <tt> declare variable $theName external;
+ * declare variable $theName := "the value";
+ * "And here's the query body(a string literal)"</tt>
+ *
+ * An external variable declaration can also specify a sequence type:
+ *
+ * <tt>declare variable $theName as xs:integer external;</tt>
+ *
+ * This class allows the user to supply the values to external variables. When
+ * an external variable declaration occur in the query,
+ * announceExternalVariable() is called.
