The W3C has issued to new Proposed Recommendations as follows.
I am interested in comments from members about the two documents,
especially if you have
experience in implementing either of them. Do they meet your needs? Is
anything missing or overly difficult? Do you think they should go on to
become full Recommendations? If not, why not? What would you change?
Your input is very much desired!

Originally, what is now XPath was a part of the Extensible Stylesheet
Language (XSL) Specification. It became a separate document
in response to several requests to have only one mechanism to address parts
of an XML document which could be used both by XSLT and by
XPointer. The XML Linking WG had been pursuing a similar language in its
work on Xpointer. From that point on, work on the XSL Path Language has been
a joint effort of both the XML Linking WG and the XSL WG.
