org.w3c.dom.xpath.XPathEvaluator.evaluate differs from spec

Hi,

Ive been using the dom3 xpath packages for a while now by writing a wrapper around 
xalan's xpath package.

Now that you've included it in xalan I decided to try yours. But it seems that the 
definition of the method org.w3c.dom.xpath.XPathEvaluator.evaluate(...) and 
org.w3c.dom.xpath.XPathExpression.evaluate(...) takes an Object as its last parameter 
and returns an Object also.

According to the spec http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-XPath/java-binding.html these 
should be XPathResults. Ive also noticed the same issue in xerces.

Where have you got your version of the spec from?
Is it safe to cast the results of these methods to an XPathResult?

Thanks in advance,
>From Richard.
