I came across the page before while going over xqib, but didn't grasps the
concept.
So it's just an extension?

But when it comes down to it, I'd also like an XPath-like-language
that implicitly lets me parse/address XPath within XSLT attributes
(like select=) in order to gain further insight into what a particular
template/routine/etc is doing (and whether I need to modify it via my
XSLT-transforming-XSLT program.
XQueryX is a *standard* W3C Recommendation:
http://www.w3.org/TR/2014/REC-xqueryx-30-20140408/
http://www.w3.org/TR/xqueryx/
And at least for the previous version I think there was a Java-based
parser for XQuery, that produced an XQueryX XML document from an
XQuery expression.
Certainly XPath is a true subset of XQuery. This means that the parser
will successfully produce an XQueryX document for any input XPath
expression.
So, one will simply use *XPath* to navigate an XPath expression that
is converted to XQueryX.
I think it wouldn't be too much effort to refactor the XQueryX
grammar, so that a subset of it will be the grammar of what we could
call "XPathX". Maybe an idea for EXPath?
