"The XPathNavigator class in the System.Xml.XPath namespace is an abstract class which defines a cursor model for navigating and editing XML information items as instances of the XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0 Data Model."

Anything that is only in 2.0 must be regarded as invalid expression. So, every implementation mentioned here is correct. MSDN documetation does not say that it supports XPath 2.0 nor XQuery 1.0 (especially functions and operators). XQuery 1.0 / XPath 2.0 F&O *working draft* is of course wrong. You cannot find corresponding part in the recommendation. And yes, I don't like XQuery and XPath 2.0 which are part of pro-xsd family.
