Now that Perl6 is in the mix, though, I think that the best way to do
it is to make roles that model eg. Nodes, Plexes (Documents), Elements, and

using a slash for a combined feed and call code operator). I could be wrong,
but it seems to me that we could get something that's somewhat like XPath
this way, without having to worry about defining an XPath grammar or
anything.
I'm talking to myself here :). The guys on IRC convinced me that the
way to go might be something like a grammar, but that does trees and tree
transformations instead of a text input stream. See the IRC log for details
:).
