           Summary: Support WS-Management's XPath Level 2 dialect
           Product: WS-Resource Access
           Version: LC
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Eventing
        AssignedTo: public-ws-resource-access-notifications@w3.org

WS-Management v1.1 [1] Appendix D.3 defines an dialect/profile of XPath called
“XPath Level 2” noting:

    "Level 2 contains everything defined in Level 1, plus general-purpose
filtering functionality with the standard set of relational operators and
parenthesized sub-expressions (with AND, OR, NOT, and so on). This dialect is
suitable for filtering using enumerations and subscription filters. This
dialect is a strict superset of Level 1, with the <filter_expression>
production being considerably extended to contain a useful subset of the XPath
filtering syntax."

It is the opinion of the WS-Man WG that this feature is sufficiently general as
to warrant inclusion in the base specifications.

Note: this issue applies to WS-Enumeration as well.

Proposal:

Add WS-Management's “XPath Level 2” to the set of profiles being jointly
considered by the WS-RA and XMLSec WGs for a separate XPath Profile
document/specification [2].
