Agreed. The only work on XPath i could see happening 3 or 4 years ago was to try & build on what was shipped in Web browsers, by documenting the JavaScript API and clarifying based on XPath 3.x. There wasn't support at the time for such work from the browser vendors, who would would rather put the time into CSS, and I don't have anyone else willing to pay for wotk on XML.
