[xsl] XPath 2.0 / XSLT 2.0 status and timing

[Wendell Piez <wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Both the XPath 2.0 and XSLT 2.0 presently on the w3.org web site 
indicate they're at "Working Draft" status as of Sep 15.

Am I correct in thinking they are not going to advance until other 
specifications on which they depend have been finalized? (I can't 
remember where I heard this: maybe on this list, once upon a time.)

Could someone actually knowledgeable confirm whether this is true, 
and perhaps remind me what's the dependency and what's the time 
table? If not, what's a more accurate representation of the current 
status of these specs?

I ask not because I'm in a hurry, but because people are interested 
in the current status: inquiring minds want to know, etc.

Thanks!
Wendell
