>>Stop right now! :) This "streaming subset of XPath" is turning into a
>>permathread. There is one, it's called STXPath and it's part of STX:

STX allows predicates. Michael Kay clearly demonstrated to me that this 
is not a general solution. Though there are some cases where predicates 
can be reliably caluclated in a streaming fashion, there are lots where 
they can cause problems...

All the best,
