Hello,

Another question. I have been spying (sorry for doing that :) ) the 
editor's draft and I have found that you are planning to make XPATH as 
the mandatory expression language in detriment of EcmaScript.

I'm a bit concerned about it, I think that there are a bunch of 
applications that deal with objects as their data model and not XML. I 
think that you are about to making the same mistake as with XForms in 
which the data model is always XML and IMHO it limits XFORMS adoption.

Also I think it should be taken into account that current experimental 
implementations of SCXML (such as Apache) use non-XPATH expression 
languages ...

Thanks and Best regards
