mlw-lt-track-ISSUE-7 (XPath Version): Sue of Xpath 2.0 [MLW-LT Standard Draft] http://www.w3.org/International/multilingualweb/lt/track/issues/7 Raised by: David Lewis On product: MLW-LT Standard Draft What version of XPath will be used for ITS 2.0? ITS 1.0 says "The selector attribute contains an AbsoluteLocationPath as described in XPath 1.0 or its successor." http://www.w3.org/TR/its/#datacategory-locations But XPath 2.0 isn't entirely backwards compatible with XPath 1.0. http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath20/#id-backwards-compatibility I suppose new standards probably ought to use the newest version. But XPath 2.0 is considerably more difficult to implement, and a full implementation requires an XSD implementation. 2.0 isn't as widely implemented as 1.0, and requiring it could hurt adoption.
