Every task we take on in the working group has a cost. It makes it more
difficult to focus on other features and specs we want to see happen. I
would prefer that we focus on making css selectors richer instead of
extending xpath. I don't have new arguments to make beyond what's already
been said.

My strong preference would be that we not take on this work, but I won't
block it happening if someone is motivated to be the editor for it. I don't
expect there to be much interest from WebKit/Chromium to implement this
though.
