There are no plans at this time to mark XPath 1 as deprecated, nor to withdraw it. It's my intent to open up the discussion of the future of XPath 1 and XSLT 1 overall. I dont want to see that happen until the primary technical work of XSLT 3 is done, but I do want to see it happen before Xpath 3.1 is made final, so probably next year. But even then there's no point in talking about deprecating or withdrawing a widely-used specification. XPath 1.0 was, is, and remains, a success.
