The XPath support is coming together faster than I expected. I've written up a summary of the impedance mismatches between XOM and XPath: namespace nodes, rootless documents, adjacent text nodes, etc., and how XOM addresses these:

http://www.xom.nu/xpath.xhtml

Mostly XOM tries to be maximally faithful to XPath. The main conceptual shift required to grok how XPath operates in XOM is to understand that an XPath data model is built from a XOM object, rather being a XOM object. Comments are appreciated.
