Re:  Locating Things Relative to Location of Style Shee
  Why should using using xpath2 make for cross platform incompatibility
  please?


you might or might not want to peruse currrent rambling threads on
xml-dev.


But ...

in XPath1, given <x>012</x> then you have the following being true
on all XPath implementations (unless they are broken, which doesn't
count) 
x=12 and x='012'

in Xpath2 the string value of the element x might be 
"012"
or it might be
an error
or
"12.0"
or
"12"
depending on (a) whether the processor decided to apply a schema that
might or might not have been specified by the input file, and if it does
apply a schema, whether or not it keeps the original character string or
whether it discards the original text and just re-creates the string
value as the canonical representation of the schema typed value.
