Yeah I'm finding loads of them today.  I thought XPath was really very very
simple, but if you go past the simple queries, it seems to get a little
wierd to get just right.  Php.XPath currently doesn't cope with a lot of
this very well so I'm having a good hack at the moment to bring it up to
speed.  To my horror I found that a query like this doesn't even work:

//*[DDD]

:o/

The good news is that it's all slotting together in a much cleaner way now,
and the class should be much better because of it.  The core XPath code is
to a certain degree unchanged from the very original phpxml code that
Php.XPath came from.  That's all changing now...
