The current implementation is as follows:

PtP messages are queued
 (see requirements engine.qos.publish.destination.ForceQueuing.
Status=CLOSED)

Publish/Subscribe queueing and timouts are not
yet implemented but scheduled
  (see engine.qos.subscribe.OfflineQueuing, note the status=OPEN)
Not the publisher is responsible to delete old messages, but
xmlBlaster will do it, in the way the QoS is set.

It is up to us, to implement the features we believe are
useful. If you or anybody else does disagree with some
requirements, please discuss them on this list.
You can browse the current requirements online (see
'XmlBlaster Reference Handbook')

I hope to implement this feature after xml-rpc support and
stdio access (simple xmlBlaster access for shell scripts and
all other interpreter languages using stdout and stdin)
is finished.

Others are welcome to implement it as well :-)

Is your XPath query correct?
Otherwise it would be a bug in xmlBlaster.
Please send us informations (your publish key and XPath subscription)
to check it.
