As it stands, sxd-xpath is the most full-featured and currently maintained XPath library in Rust.
The XPath 2.0 lists the following goals:
Support related XML standards
Improve ease of use
Improve interoperability
Improve i18n support
Maintain backward compatibility
A major use of XPath in the real world is web scraping and parsing. Although the XPath specs don't address it, I think it should be a major goal of this library.
Thus, that means:
supporting basic HTML requirements like <!doctype html>, fully supporting self-closing tags, etc
possibly abstracting out our DOM using traits that could be implemented by other parsing libraries like html5ever (Can I use it with html5ever? #73). This would allow us to use the full power of the Rust ecosystem, and rely on highly-used and maintained libraries, some of which have more powerful features like quirks mode and more advanced error reporting
