The first thing we do is to check to see if the $xPathQuery is actually an
absoluteXPath.  If it is not then we call evaluate/match treating it as a
query.  See setModMatch() and _resolveXPathQuery() for more detailed
documentation of how the class operates.

I agree.  But using the built in \w is a whole lot better than explicitly
listing european characters in the [] regex.  Suggestions for what to do
with that test would be welcomed.  Bascially the test needs to capture a
string that could feasibly be an XML element name.  Here's the references to
the specs:
