So whose implementation will you cast to to get hold of those optimized query hooks? Yours, obviously. But what about ours? Jonathan and Mikes?; Suns? etc. etc. And do you expect me to support _your_ implementation when for all I know you'll be changing those non-public query hooks from week to week? Adding an XPath query API to the DOM allows optimized XPath queries to be _portable_. That might not matter to you, but it does to quite a few of us.
