I forget why, but I think the split made testing easier.  I might've
just been muddled too.  If you can find no reason for the two, then

Yah, XPath expressions are shareable, no problem.  You just need some
logic to determine which Navigator to pass to the forms of
selectNodes(...) et al that take a Navigator.
