Hi Aleksey, You're right that it's difficult to prove anything given different processing scenarios, and there are questions of optimizing an XPath processor versus coming up with an optimized "profile" akin to what we are doing. Our answers to these questions are driven by operational experience and it's the sub-tree case that we found needs to be addressed. For example, people want to easily isolate multiple signatures or a SOAP payload. These are our real world requirements. That isn't to say the example you gave is unimportant, but absent a bunch of folks saying "hey, I have a critical problem in this application" I expect to publish this as a W3C Working Draft. We can continue the discussion and tests, and I certainly welcome proposed text to make the issue more clear to readers of the spec.
