  okay, the key objective is to avoid memory leaks, that was the only
approach I could reasonably use, and it requires the help of the XSLT
processor, XPath itself is not sufficient anymore.

  Well I had to push the release anyway before travelling around

APIs are functionnal as-is, pushing now rather than in 2 weeks will
allow more feedback :-)
