The XPath Transform is rarely used, introduces complexity, and is not recommended by the [XML Signature Best Practices](https://www.w3.org/TR/xmldsig-bestpractices/) document. Applications should use the XPath Transform 2.0 Filter instead, which was designed to be an alternative to the XPath Transform. This change will disable the XPath Transform by default.
