See the attachment: SimpleDOMXPathAPI.cpp Think of it more as a proof of
concept
that DOM_Node -> XPath -> XObject -> DOM_NodeList CAN BE done; it's by no
means
perfect. All feedback is appreciated. :)

As I understand it, the Xerces classes (DOM_Node, DOM_NodeList, etc.) are
great for general purpose XML parsing. They're not so quick when doing XSLT
processing; you want to use the XalanNode classes for that. (Or better
still, XalanTransformer and XPathEvaluator - classes that provide neat
interfaces for the casual programmer.)

See above. Most of the Xalan programmers seem happy with the status quo.
