Re: [whatwg/dom] Proposal - Update XPath to (at least) v2.0 (#903)

absolutely, and I haven't used the *consensus* word, I've just found interesting comments from various people actually using, and appreciating, what *XPath* brings to the plate, and many said 2 or even 3 are too much to implement and possibly problematic, but few said it should be relatively easy to add RegExp on top of the current implementation only, which is 1.0.

As this issue mention upgrade to 2.0, that's the ideal dream/goal, but since vendors already stated they don't think this would ever happen, they have no interest, or it's complicated, then I'm just saying I personally miss RegExp, as I think that'd be a huge step forward already in scraping and querying possibilities.
