So could your XPath implementation be decoupled? What interface does it use to traverse the XML tree? Could it be used on top of a different XML tree implementation, such as a lazy one that stores the text of the XML document, if it provided a similar interface? I think most of it should work. However, the entire XPath specification is build upon the idea that everything is a node and a node does not have to be an element. That's why I changed my object hierarchy.
For the boost.xml library I'm working on I plan to use something akin to boost.variant as the return type of an xpath query. I don't think that the XPath specification should dictate a type hierarchy on a C++ implementation. FWIW, Stefan -- ...ich hab' noch einen Koffer in Berlin...
