Very impressive benchmarks, Diego! I'm surprised this hasn't had more attention.
It's added.

Paul,
nice work collecting all these informations for future research.
Here uou can find my take to cross-browser CSS3 Selector compliance:

It is not as known as the other listed here, however you will be surprised by the speed and the features. It does not use Xpath.

Would be nice to let me in the list.

@Alex, Thanks. I'll dig up the URLs and throw those releases in. @Brad, I'm using the Simile Timeline script, which really doesn't do anything in particular with the Y axis. So here, the vertical positioning really doesn't mean anything.

I think you should label your Y axis.

Dojo's selector engine has continued to evolve beyond the original you note here. The 0.9 and 1.0 releases of Dojo both included major additions and refinements to our engine (as will 1.1).

Nice to see that you added base2. :-)

@John: Yeah I knew it was "released" then, just couldn't find any online reference at the time. I've updated the post, thanks.

@Paul & Matt: You guys are right. Once I thought about it, it's not my original thought or ideas. Hmm.. now where to put it.

What part of this falls under the "no original research" policy? This timeline is fact, and you've cited each entry. Besides, who actually follows Wikipedia's policies?
