The former. 

At least, make the request via a bug
and 1) they will see what they can do, and 2) them just knowing about it
will make it extremely unlikely to break. This happens frequently in other
parts of WTP.

Subject:	[wtp-incubator-dev] The XPath plugin

---

This plugin adds an XPath view.
 
Quite correctly, it makes use of SSE to get the document
to apply XPath to. However, it is forced to use parts of the SSE plugins
that are marked as internal, and this is not the best situation.
 
As far as I know, there are two possible ways to get around
this. One way is to ask the SSE plugin developers to make the required
parts of the API 'public'. The other is to make out XPath plugin a plugin
fragment onto the xml.ui plugin.
 
The former may be the correct way to do it, but the latter
is certainly easier and quicker to do, though it means that any future
changes will have to be carefully synchronised. Unless this XPath plugin
is actually absorbed into the xml.ui plugin itself and maintained by that
team of developers.
 
Does anyone have any preferences?
 
Thanks,
