XML Parsing : XPath version 1.0 is outdated

[hugo_fr]

Version 3.1 : http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-31/

This version should allow the manipulation of OpenDocument XML content.

I do not know what this is in reference to, so I cannot route this to the right place. Is this some part of LabVIEW? Part of Report Generation Toolkit? Part of some other NI product? Please clarify for me what you're asking NI to upgrade/fix so I can flag the right people.

It's related to the "XML Parser VIs and Nodes" palette http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361M-01/lvconcepts/parsing_xml_files_in_lv/#XPath_Query

XPath 3.1 became W3C Candidate Recommendation on December 2014, it seems there are very few XML Parser libraries that has implemented XPath 3.1.

The "XML Parser VIs and Nodes" in LabVIEW relies on the underlying Xerces-C library to support querying XML document with its XPath feature, it will be straightforward for XML Parser VIs to support XPath 3.1 if the Xerces-C library can support it first.

Can NI make use of XQilla? This is recommended on the Xerces project page for those wanting to use XPath 2 (which is at least better than 1).
