"This specification will remain a Candidate Recommendation until at 
least 28 February 2006."

I think it is fairly stable, though others may know better.  I'd say 
include it in the list.

I'm sure this has all been thought through before, but is there a need 
for both an xpath() and xpath2()?  (Just strikes me as problematic, 
what happens when xpath3 (if ever) comes along.)  Do they need to be 
separate because of the issues of backwards compatibility?
