Re: xpath 3.0/3.1 in schema 1.1

The answer is technically, no. A processor allowing you to use XPath 3.0
expressions would not be a conformant XSD 1.1 processor.

However, we need to remember that conformance is not an absolute requirement
that takes precedence over everything else. If some vendor sees a market
demand for a validation engine that offers XSD 1.1 with XPath 3.1 additions
there is nothing to stop them producing a product that meets that demand. The
fact that it's not a conformant XSD 1.1 processor wouldn't stop it being a
useful product.
