Time has come to add XPath support at the DOM level. Check
http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Requirements/#Level-3-LS-Other-Requirements
4.4.4.3 Document Fragments
"XPath should also be considered as a way to identify XML Document
fragments to load."
Maybe a bit of lobbying or help to the people in the DOM group
would be the right way.
