* These functions tend to be a little slow, since a number of objects must be
* created for each evaluation. A faster way is to precompile the
* XPaths using the low-level API, and then just use the XPaths
* over and over.
*
* NOTE: In particular, each call to this method will create a new
* XPathContext, a new DTMManager... and thus a new DTM. That's very
* safe, since it guarantees that you're always processing against a
* fully up-to-date view of your document. But it's also portentially
* very expensive, since you're rebuilding the DTM every time. You should
* consider using an instance of CachedXPathAPI rather than these static
* methods.
