Well, it seems that if you use the XMLUnit.setNamespaceContext, it will 
carry across when it gets the XPath engine.   I haven't taken a look 
yet, but is there a way to specify which XPath engine to use, as we can 
with the SAX and DOM parsers?   It would be nice to be able to specify 
either JAXEN, XALAN, or SAXON's xpath engines.  Particularly if you are 
trying to verify that something works across the various XPath engines 
available.

Also, there was mention of schema validation.   Is this just validating 
an xml instance, or is this validating the xml schema it self?
