Luca,

XOM does not support XPath directly, but there is support for XOM
implemented for the Jaxen XPath engine.

If you're only interested in img elements, you needn't build a full
document and traverse it. Using Jaxen/XPath is definitely overkill for
this case. XOM's node factory (don't remember the class name) supports
creating only the nodes you're really interested in, to save space and
time. Implement a custom NodeFactory (?) that only creates and Element
if the name is img.
