Many users of R would like the enhanced extraction capabilities of XPath
2.0, but only XPath 1.0 is available..

What would the best approach be to find someone to implement XPath 2.0 for
R (assuming that is a good idea)?  What might the cost be and how would one
set this package development in motion?

Thanks

Why do you need from xpath 2.0?  It will almost certainly be easier to
implement similar functionality using a little R code than adding
xpath 2.0 support.
