This doesn't sound like too bad a job, but it's not worth it unless people are willing to use and support it in their code. Obviously, a streaming XPath subset is appropriate for use with streaming parser APIs like SAX and STAX -- where else would it be useful? XML networking? Search and indexing? There's also the question of context -- would the only context be the stack, or do people hope to have access to left siblings as well? All the best, David -- http://www.megginson.com/
