Yes, it is.

So far, XPath (and particular Jaxen) doesn't have any sort of 'write'
semantics, which would include alterations to the list.

The main issue is...

        Where do things go if you add something to the list?

The nodes -within- the list are indeed 'live' though, and backed
by the document.  Just the containing list is purely a way to
return multiple item.s
