RE: Re: The Perils of Sudden Type-Safety in XPath 2.0

I would think that if you set your 
version to 1.0, it would support only 1.0 elements, and not 
provide the other functionality available in 2.0 specs. It 
seems to me a better solution would be another kind of 
switch, like, XPath = "1.0" and XPath = "2.0" within the 
stylesheet element.

That's one viewpoint, and the XSL WG hasn't yet made a decision on this.

However, if you want to write a stylesheet that can run under both 1.0
and 2.0 processors, then it has to be a legal XSLT 1.0 stylesheet, and a
stylesheet that contained the attribute XPath="1.0" would not be.
