Evan Lenz previews XPath 2.0. The new version’s features have been influenced by the desire to harmonize XSLT and XQuery.

For over a year now, the W3C XSL and XML Query Working Groups have been working closely together. The goal has been to share as much between XSLT 2.0 and XQuery 1.0 as is technically and politically feasible and to give that common subset the name “XPath 2.0″. This effectively means that the driving forces behind XPath 2.0 include not only the XPath 2.0 Requirements document but also many of the XML Query language requirements.
