  I would not say so, I would say that there are solutions that are
compatible with XPath.  Evaluating several times the expression is
another solution, but you would have to define how to combine the
result into one (do you define an order across several documents, do
you reorder, do you de-duplicate, etc.?)

  Probably not worth the price, frankly.
