326745 - Support XPath in Mozilla crossing content boundaries

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, enhancement, P5)

Description

[Alex Vincent [:WeirdAl]]

It'd be very nice for Mozilla's XPath to support special functions for going between anonymous content and its XBL-bound parent, and between a framed document and its parent frame element.

Reference the URL field for proposed syntax.  Suggestions to the wiki welcome.

Move all DOM bugs that haven't been updated in more than 3 years and has no one currently assigned to P5.

No plans for new XPath functionality beyond maintenance. And to consider something it would have to have interest from other browsers and get standardized first.
