Abstract: Earliest query answering (EQA) is an objective of many recent streaming algorithms for XML query answering, that aim for close to optimal memory management. In this paper, we show that EQA is infeasible even for a small fragment of Forward XPath except if P=NP. We then present an EQA algorithm for queries and schemas defined by deterministic nested word automata (dNWAs) and distinguish a large class of dNWAs for which streaming query answering is feasible in polynomial space and time.
