Re: [xml] Setting a context from a patricular node

[eric_w <rice cruft gmail com>]

Doesn't this sequence

     doc = xmlTextReaderCurrentDoc( reader);
     pathContext = xmlXPathNewContext( doc);

accomplish the same thing? Or are you suggesting that is is sufficient to
just set the xmlNodePtr
in the path context structure?
