Hi! The DOM L3 XPath module CR uses the DOMObject (newly introduced in DOM L3 Core) datatype as return value for evaluate(). However, the XPath module only normatively references DOM Level _2_ Core, implying that the XPath module can be implemented on top of an DOM2 Core, which it can't due to lack of DOMObject. Even though DOMObject is just defined to be the programming language's single root in object-based languages, this won't work in non-singly-rooted ones, such as C++ (or should one use void*?)
