Horrible, horrible, horrible. This is why statics should be banned.
So much is happening behind the scenes there, it's scary.
If you want to have a static registry, at least do what JDBC should
have done:
XPath.register(new CheeseNavigator());
but if you're going to do that once, you may as well do it every time:
new XPath(cheese, new CheeseNavigator());
or:
new CheeseXPath(cheese)
which is what we already almost have, and what I proposed.
I vote "nay" to a navigator registry, and "ecch" to anything remotely
resembling the JDBC API.
