I agree that XPath is really useful. Almost all the XPath 
implementations I know (apache JXPath, Jaxen) support plugging in custom 
models. The XPath implementation that comes as part of Xerces (never 
used) probably doesnt. In any case one can assume that w3c DOM is 
already implemented, while everything else requires more work.

That indeed speaks for either implementing the w3c DOM interfaces (why 
not?), or leaving everything as is, IMO.
