I dont like and idea of the  relying on pre-production quality
implementations
and then debugging my code for specific one. It breaks the abstraction.
It more nice to have high level XPath paring/mapping engine without
dependence
on actual implemenation. When all Db engines supported by Rose::DB will be
supporting
XML datatype with the same level of support then it would be irrelevant but
for general
case having XPath -> SQL translation looks more attractive.
