Do you mean that part 4 should support these features?
Which other parts would be affected (in addition of part 3 which AFAIK
will have provisions for supporting XPath 2.0 as one of its hosting
languages)?
Note that a full support of XPath 2.0 raises the bar pretty high and
would mean both supporting W3C XML Schema and forbidding streamable
implementations.
That's a decision which should be taken very cautiously IMO.
