 Yes, some people call this the push mode...
Note that using a subset of XPath syntax for expresssing the matches
would make sense. The problem is that you won't have the DOM tree,
so reuse of the existing XPath or libxslt/pattern.c may probably be
more troubles than gain, // / [n] and qname element matching are 
probably sufficient, one open question is how to express the namespace
in the expression, of how to design the API  to pass namespaces binding,
everything else should be relatively simple C code.
