Have a look at open-eXtend, the only project I could find that implemented
XTND, and had an intention to also implement XEPR. However, it looks like it is
not very active anymore, with the codebase being from 2004, I couldn't readily
find out how far they have gotten.
Apparently, XEPR should be considered as a meta-language, as briefly explained
here: http://www.stylusstudio.com/xmldev/200102/post60610.html. But I do not
know enough (if anything) of it to understand its width or depth or how it
compares to existing XML-based languages.
It was sent in as a Note and has been considered by the W3C, see
http://www.w3.org/Submission/2000/10/Comment. Apparently, even though it was
considered, I can't find any reference whether any of its features or findings
have made it into existing specs. In the archives of the public and some
non-public mailing lists from W3C I could find little to no references to it.
I'm curious why you think that, after 14 years (the W3C Note, not from W3C
themselves, is from October 2000), it would (still, again?) make sense to
consider it for already very mature languages such as XSLT or XForms.

Subject: [xsl] adopting xepr tags and concept in to xsl, xQuery, and XForms
http://www.w3.org/TR/xexpr/
Briefing looking over this w3c request; i feel that this already exist, and
it's call
xsl.
But a lot of these tags could be consider as add on in both xsl and xQuery for
farther control, and manipulation over the XML elements and or contents.
Please take this in consideration.
Also this could be of help to XForms processing.
Please take this into consideration.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
