Hi Alberto, simple XPath expression will help as long as the resulting nodesets can be used and manipulated in the same ways possible to date. But the question is when will Xerces-C 3.0 come? Version 3.0 was already outlined to me when I was still examining 2.3 and also later when starting to use 2.6. Now we have 2.8 and I fear there will be a 2.15 before 3.0 is to come.

Hi Frank, if you are looking for simple XPath expressions (like /tag/tag or //tag) Xerces 3.0 will support them (by reusing the XPath processor used by the XMLSchema engine). If you need more features (predicates, function library, etc..) you will have to look at full processing engines like XQilla or Xalan.
