Bring yourself back to reality for a minute. You propose to make 
kdenonbeta/xpath work with KDOM when KDOM isn't even used in KHTML yet, and 
nobody has said it will be. Maybe you should think about finishing 
kdenonbeta/xpath and make it work with current KHTML first, as I'm sure that 
would be much more useful for both Andy and anybody else who wants XML, XSL, 
XSLT, and XPATH support in KHTML now rather than later. Otherwise, you're 
asking somebody to invest time in something that might be cool but isn't 
guaranteed to be used, and it sounds like Andy could really use support for 
XPATH in KHTML now rather than later.
