Dear Rhys, Ok let's try to argument XPath 1.0 has never been targeted to be used ONLY inside XML dialects, and it has been a good idea, since XQuery IS NOT an XML dialect I think that for keeping broader audience for specification, unnecessary limitation should be dropped, especially for an extension of XPath So examples should be given, without escaping I imagine a simple note at the bottom of the specification, which should mention, that "for using it inside an XML dialect such that XHTML, it should be escaped" could be sufficient Regards Mohamed On 1/31/07, Rhys Lewis <Rhys.Lewis@volantis.com> wrote: > > > Dear Mohamed, > > Thanks for the clarification about your comment. > > Our examples are indeed XML, because we assume the host language is XHTML > Version 2.
