xml-dev - Re: XML. SAX. Streaming processing with Groves.

[Francis Norton <francis@redrice.com>]

XPath seems to have missed the boat for DOM level 2. Is there any chance
that XPath will be included in level 3? I can see that it doesn't appear
to fit in to the roadmap, but as someone who does commercial
program-to-program programming I would find not only the basic
functionality but access to the neater data model a real aid to
productivity.
