Section 2.2.4

Hello HTML5 devs!

In section 2.2.4 HTML5 says:
It is motivated by the desire to have implementations be compatible with 
legacy HTML content while still supporting the changes that this 
specification introduces to HTML regarding the namespace used for HTML 
elements, and by the desire to use XPath 1.0 rather than XPath 2.0.

....and by the desire to use XPath 1.0 rather than XPath 2.0.

Comment:
Does the above sentence say, that it is desired by the HTML5 spec to use 
XPath 1.0?

Or do you want to express, that there are implementations that still 
like to use XPath 1.0 and it should be compatible to these?

Thanks for clarification
Stefan
