[Bug 20639] XPath provides insufficient "glue" (modularity)

That focus was lost long ago. See comment 5 for many examples of capabilities
existing in XPath today that have nothing to do with navigating through an XML
tree. Despite this (in fact, because of this), XPath is prospering. I
anticipate XPath to have an increasingly dominant role due to its portability
-- write an XPath program once and reuse it in XSLT, XQuery, Java, Perl,
Python. That's powerful!
