I believe Xerces was considering implementing the  DOM Level 3 XPath API 
as part of its DOM3 prototype. I'm not sure what the current status is, or 
whether Xerces is using its own XPath engine vs. calling Xalan to do the 
work.

Xalan now includes a prototype of the DOM XPath API which can be applied 
against any DOM, including Xerces. It isn't maximally efficient (we have 
some known performance issues running XPaths against DOMs at this time), 
and it has one or two known departures from the standard (mostly in the 
area of navigation relative to namespace nodes, which almost nobody 
actually cares about) but it should work.
