Are you thinking along the same lines in which the original EXSLT
project (assuming that my understanding as to why the original project
was started) was focused towards, in essence adding to the mix the
instructions and functions that were left out of the spec for various
reasons or had since been realized as necessary?

If yes, are there enough known deficiencies in the 2.0 spec to justify
starting a new EXSLT 2.0-like project or is too early at this point to
tell?  I'm not suggesting I know that answer and you most certainly
would have a much better feel for this than me.  Just curious as to
what exactly the focus would be. Higher-order functions I'm assuming
would be one area of focus?

Of course theres still the issue of dynamic XPath evaluation unless I
have missed something and it has recently been added? (wishful
thinking :)

Anything else?
