Re: [xml-dev] [ANN] XSLT 1.0 and XPath 1.0 were published on 16 Nov 1999
Thank you, Michael, for reminding us and for this offer!
I would very much like to learn something about the history leading to these groundbreaking specifications. The question which puzzles me most is whether the basic idea of XPath (axis+node-test+predicates & the semantics of the slash operator) were the brain child of a single person or a group of people, whether it appeared already in full shape or emerged in an iterative process?
