Bumping this thread, as it seems as though things such as XPath nominations still have not been confirmed, and the user guide has not been updated. This is quite worrying, as recently I have been made aware of issues like [this](https://github.com/Autodesk/revit-ifc/issues/290) which suggest that BIM authoring programs are producing likely inconsistent data.

Ping @jwouellette how can we take this forward and get this resolved?
