Object? No. This is not something that I personally have time for, but 
people should feel free to explore ideas.

I would suggest that anyone who wants to do that should get very clear on 
the requirements first, and I think that use cases are a good way to 
examine requirements. That might also tell you whether there is a real 
problem to be solved.

Sure, I like to respond to concrete things.

FWIW, I don't think the market is ready for one more XPath, in addition to 
XQuery 1.0, XPath 1.0, and XPath 2.0. I would predict that an unofficial 
XPath that is One More Spec to Read will probably be ignored in the long 
run, much like SML. But my predictions are often wrong.
