At the ftf meeting at the end of October and beginning of November, the WG agreed that in principle a legal schema can use any legal XPath 2.0 expression as an assertion. To avoid requiring all XSD processors to implement all of XPath 2.0, the subset defined in the spec will be retained, and all schema processors are required to support at least that subset of XPath 2.0; other processors may choose to support more, or all, of XPath 2.0. Schema authors who care more about power than interoperability will choose schema processors accordingly; schema authors who care about interoperability more than about power will restrict themselves to expressions in the subset. (Schema authors who care about both power and interoperability will presumably just curse the Working Group.) So a technical direction for resolution of this issue has been set, although no final wording has been adopted (and thus the decision is not yet part of the status quo text). A wording proposal is expected to go to the Working Group real soon now, possibly today or tomorrow.
