Talk:Using XPath

From MDC

Although new XPathEvaluator() is non-standard, it is more flexible because it doesn't require a document instance. You'll note this article isn't in the Web Development category (if it were, standards would be more important). Feel free to add your code as alternative to the original, not as a replacement for it. --eric h. jung, 29 May 2007 10:18 EDT

Sorry, I was under the impression that standards were most important throughout all of Mozilla. I will shortly add a note that this code is not interoperable on the WWW and provide the necessary changes (without changing your function).--JeroenH 07:51, 29 May 2007 (PDT)

IMHO, the most important thing at MDC is documenting what's good for Mozilla products. What's good for Mozilla may or may not be aligned with standards; this is not the W3C wiki. new XPathEvaluator() works quite well in XPCOM components and other non-W3C-blessed code. --eric h. jung, 29 May 2007 11:26 EDT
