It seems to me that adding XPath 2.0 support is a non-negligible addition, and I have yet to hear about anyone being remotely interested in implementing it. So while attacking the low-hanging fruit of what we can get to work right today seems appealing to me, looking beyond that is IMHO not necessary. Well, the use case is to allow browsers to move to XPath2/XSLT2 at some point in the future, without having to maintain another engine. Best regards, Julian
