Good as in there are use cases for it, or good just because? It seems to me
that adding XPath 2.0 support is a non-negligible addition, and I have yet to
hear about anyone being remotely interested in implementing it. So while
attacking the low-hanging fruit of what we can get to work right today seems
appealing to me, looking beyond that is IMHO not necessary.
Well, the use case is to allow browsers to move to XPath2/XSLT2 at some
point in the future, without having to maintain another engine.
