hello all.

for various reasons i've written an xpath processor as part of another
project. now i'd like to test it for conformance with the spec, and was
thinking that hey, someone must've written up a test suite already.
though the ones i've found have been geared for testing xslt engines,
which i have none, and not plain xpath.

the implementation is all java and will be made available on an open
licence very soon - would just like to weed out any obvious bugs first!

if anyone has direct experience of conformance testing other xpath engines
i'd love to hear of your experiences.

oh, and why do my own xpath engine when there's already several others
already done?
a) late binding of namespaces, variables etc allows for effective caching
   of parsed expressions
b) extensibility of functions and variable resolution
c) (hopefully) performance


many thanks,
