Thank you David, and John Cowan, for the links. I had heard of Tidy and
thought it was too file-oriented for transactional use, but jTidy and
David's link show that things have moved further and faster than I
realised.

I get the impression that my desire to have xpath included in the DOM
may be naive, but I haven't yet formed a clear picture of the
alternatives. Is there an architectural solution which would allow one
to plug any arbitrary (but compatible) xpath processor in to a DOM
processor? And then use it to select nodes from a document that has been
opened in the DOM, and then update those nodes using the DOM?

Thanks -

Francis.
