Implementations remain to be decided. Saxon is a possibility, though I 
really don't want to support XPath 2.0, at least not yet. I think XPath 
1.0 is immensely preferable, not to mention more stable.

Jaxen is also a possibility.

And there's even a remote chance I might write a XOM-native XPath engine.

I don't think Xalan's adaptable to other object models than its own. 
Anything else out there worth considering?
