XPath will be in a future release. XPath provides ID search and a lot
more. Unlike DOM's this will actually work. (I've been beating myself up
over the last couple of days trying to work around DOM's brain damaged
handling of ID-type attributes)

Yes.

So far no one's asked for that. It is on my TODO List for 1.1.

No. The issue here that may make it seem more complicated than some
other APIs is that XOM does not incorrectly assume (as some other APIs
do) that the output of an XSL transformation is necessarily a single
document.

Wolfgang Hoschek has done some work along those lines in Nux. Longer
term what's planned is catalog support, but I doubt I'll expose more of
the TrAX API directly.
