Querying a compound XML document having a primary XML document and multiple nested documents may be performed in a single query. The single query comprises an expression of at least one attribute and the encoding type of the nested documents. Execution of the query involves decoding each nested document according to its encoding type and searching for the attribute specified in the query. The results returned from each of the nested documents may be combined with the results returned from the primary document before returning the results to the user.
