Yes, the basic idea is to implement XPath at Axiom level, so that we don't have to worry about what the underlying parser is. > Also we don't expect XPath to be integrated in to the Axis2/C or any > modules that goes with it for this project.

I believe that we should integrate it to Axiom, so that others can benefit too. Of course, the immediate concern is Rampart (where WS-Security and other security related specifications are implemented), but if we can get it at the right place early, it will save lot many problems we may face in the future. Btw, there was a small mistake in the project description, the third line should have been "This project is to implement XPath Language 1.0 *and 2.0 or only 1.0*...". In essence, XPath 1.0 is absolutely necessary, and I think we better drop 2.0 support, since: 1) it is not a necessity for the Axis2 project at the moment. 2) I think implementing XPath 1.0 is more than enough work itself.
