Mark,

I just want to clarify that developers are free to use XPath in
their applications with the use of ENML; the only thing we would
forbid is the storage of XPath expressions *inside* ENML documents.

So, it is perfectly possible for an ENML-conformant application
to use XPath for everything - including manipulating the ENML
itself during processing; but when it comes time to saving the
ENML into a Notarized/Witnessed/Apostillized document, the
application should not store XPath expressions in the ENML; rather,
it should use only the standard <Reference> elements as outlined in
the spec.

While this may cause some developers a little grief, I think this
price for avoiding legal headaches in courts is well worth it.  It's
not as if software developers don't have other effective tools to
address the problem - I know from experience.

I am not certain, however, if the proposed exclusion of XPath in ENML presents any specific barriers to adoption of the eNotary standard by developers who build applications for the mortgage and recording industries.  I need to look into this and will report back (promptly).
