A comment on WhatWG: Proposal – Update XPath to at least v2.0. Parent comment
Allowed? Sure, why not?
Desirable? Hell, no.
Think about it. If you are developing a web application and you need ensure it runs on all supported platforms then you either:
a) use standard APIs that are provided by all platforms,
b) use platform-specific APIs and watch the number of platform-specific tests to grow exponentially along with development and maintenance effort,
c) drop platforms.
Suffice to say, option a) is far more desirable.
