I strongly suggest and feveriently hope that you will be implementing this natively.
 I've wrapped both AJAX-XSLT and Sarissa in GWT, and Sarissa, which is natively
implemented, is considerably faster than AJAX-XSLT.

I eagerly await this functionality. 

Thanks,
Eric

P.S. I just realized that you already linked to my groups post regarding native
implemenation, but I'll leave this comment anyway.  Never hurts to duplicate ideas.

I very much want to see this.  I must deal with many complex XML files.  All the
testing required to work in the DOM--node null, node type, processing node lists,
etc.--is too much.  I'm left with processing the file on the server side and sending
serializable objects over the RPC.  I don't like this approach nearly so well.

For those of you who haven't seen the thread in the description of this issue, here's
a GWT wrapper for Sarissa, a native xml/xslt/xpath library, that will allow you to
utilize xml client-side.

I'm currently using Jaxen4GWT
(http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Web-Toolkit/browse_thread/thread/768da8a7a9c87e6b/952167fb6988a790#952167fb6988a790)
but it has problems and a future GWT release could break it entirely.  Why not assume
this in to GWT?

I would like to see Xpath support in GWT as well...

I'm curious to know if this is implemented in GWT 1.5 now since Java 1.5 has an XPath
Library in it?

I would like to see Xpath support in GWT as well...I don't think people have 
continued commenting on this, but there is an obvious need and almost 100 people 
wanting this feature (based on the stars).

I like to see xpath in GWT, it should be with higher priority

XPath is an essential part of an XML library

http://code.google.com/p/gwtxslt/ is a good solution, it should be included in GWT (and
maintained).
