Just what I was going to say.  I'm not sure how I feel
about the rest of this message, but I'm quite sure that
basic XML 1.0 (plus namespace) parsing is the low layer,
and that XPath and--even more so--XSLT processing is
several layers up.  (Things like XInclude is probably
at an intermediate layer, for example.)
