Saxon support for regex lookahead

I understand that Saxon-B 8.9 implements XPath 2.0, which excludes lookahead and lookbehind from its regex support. Is this still the case in Saxon-B 9.0? Thanks, Owen Lynch

Yes, Saxon strictly enforces the conformance rules for regular expressions (and everything else) in the XPath 2.0 specification. (And yes, I know it can be a pain. But conformance comes first.) Michael Kay http://www.saxonica.com/
