Philippe Le
Hegaret has announced
a first public Working Draft for the Document Object
Model (DOM) Level 3 XPath Specification, a specification to provide access
to DOM trees using XPath 1.0 expressions.
The
document is the result of collaborative work:
This is the result of
discussions from the www-dom-xpath
mailing list feedbacks from the xml-dev mailing list (1
and 2),
and works in the DOM Working Group.
The main parts
of this specification include a section about general
considerations that documents the differences between the DOM and
XPath data models (and states that the notion of ranges introduced by XPointer
is out of its scope), and a description of the proposed interfaces.
