DOM is already somewhat slow/heavyweight for certain purposes. While I'm sure a lot of good work will be done on query implementation and optimization, it's not immediately clear that a query-based implementation would in practice be more rather than less efficient compared to DOM. Not that it's a bad idea in principle, but performance is a significant barrier to adoption of XML for purposes such as SOAP, and we do need to pay more attention to performance as APIs evolve, IMO.
