Re:  Re: XPath as a stand-alone programming language
>Michael Kay: can SAXON run as a stand-alone XPath 3.0 processor? If no, are you planning to create a stand-alone XPath 3.0 processor?

Saxon certainly allows you to run XPath queries directly from a Java or .NET API, which is what matters to most end-users.

There's a requirement/opportunity for a software component that only does XPath and not XSLT or XQuery, which could be a tiny fraction of the size of Saxon, packaged in a way that makes it suitable for integration as a component into other products. Saxon's not currently well packaged for that role.
