While I do agree with the fact that the XPath module will be implemented in standalone implementations, I don't think that supporting the XPathEvaluator on Document is easier than supporting on the Node interface. In both cases, the implementation will have to extend somehow the interface (using a subclass mechanism or a delegate model) and register it in the DOM Core implementation. This is why we have getInterface in the Core in fact. Philippe
