There is two parts in the XPath API: the definition of the API itself and its implementation. I agree that the optimization mode is not exposed in the API.
Thanks for your comments!

Should this really be an API issue? Perhaps it could be better served
by a system property that determined whether or nor optimizations
were performed. This could be access from within code by those who
cared about it, without cluttering the API.
