The WG hasn't yet issued a public working draft covering this area, but I 
think it's quite likely that the solution proposed will have the 
characteristics you are suggesting it should.

I'm not aware of any plan to superset XPath 2.0 in conjunction with new 
features of Schema 1.1.

I'm not so worried about a subset, as long as it's OK to plug a fully 
featured implementation into an application.

What I don't like is where a superset is defined, as found in schema 
regular 
expressions with character class subtraction (even if it is a nice 
feature!).

Hopefully this can be avoided.
