I don't know how representative it is, but there is also at least one person (me) who has started to read these specs, seen that he didn't agree with the requirements and didn't consider that the addded complexity over XPath 1.0 is not worth the pain IHO and just can't comment because he has no comments except "I'll stay with XPath 1.0 and exslt as much as I can"... And I sure hope we can derive from XPATH/XSLT 1.0, exslt (and eventually xvif) a Relax NG like version of these monster specs.
