It (evaluate) is one of the most requested (and widely implemented) extensions in current xpath 1.0 implementations. If Xpath2 adds useful new functionality in the area of type checking and schema support but doesn't address many of the main issues raised by existing xpath1 users (evaluate, higher order functions, regexps, ...) then I don't think that victory can be declared. I think it's reasonable that the current set of drafts have concentrated on the newer features and the merge with Xquery but that's the first draft it isn't enough to "declare victory".
