  First time I heard that XML DSig requires XPath2. I think there
is some confusion, it does reference XPath1 not 2 clearly !
  http://www.w3.org/TR/xmldsig-core/#sec-XPath

  The only addition is here() which is actually similar to the XPointer
one, not something fron XPath2.

  That said, I'm all for people implementing XPath2 in a separate library
on top of libxml2, if possible with the same Licencing (MIT Licence) so
I may reuse it later if I ever work on XSLT2 or XQuery.
