You mean that the Xalan API can be used outside any XSL stylesheet to browse 
nodes inside an XML tree or to update nodes
values/nodes attributes inside an XML tree ? I thought that Xalan was only an 
XSL stylesheets processing API...

I said Xalan ... not Xerces.

For me, getting elements via XPath is so much easier rather. For
example, to retrieve the href attribute of the Content element which is
a child of a SubmitReq element ... both of which have a namespace prefix
of "mm7", I use the following XPath expression:

//mm7:SubmitReq/mm7:Content/@href

The document itself does not need to necessarily have the same namespace
prefix in the XPath expression. You specify how the namespace prefix in
your XPath expression maps to a namespace URI via a PrefixResolver.
