Yes it should happen before that. WSAS 2.1 is going off the WSAS trunk, 
thats the reason for having our dependency on the WSAS trunk. AFAIK its 
only bug fixes and some tooling stuff thats going into WSAS (the 
deference between 2.0 and 2.1). Obviously we cannot depend on WSAS 2.0 
because sharing is not working with that. We have to go with 2.1 ;-)

No its not due to that. It was a problem that we had from the 
beginning.  XPath was not working in scraper service.
