From the name alone, It is surprising that XPathResult2 does not extend XPathResult. This conflicts, for example, with SAX's EntityResolver2, Locator2, etc. that all extend the original interface. I see the reasoning in the note that XPathResult2 does not extend XPathResult. That's fine. I don't disagree with it. However, the name suggests otherwise. Perhaps a name change is in order? Perhaps XPath2Result would be a little less confusing, or perhaps something completely different like Sequence or XPath2Sequence, since in XPath 2.0 a sequence of one item is equivalent to the item itself. -- Elliotte Rusty Harold elharo@metalab.unc.edu Processing XML with Java (Addison-Wesley, 2002) http://www.cafeconleche.org/books/xmljava http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN%3D0201771861/cafeaulaitA
