I fully agree. I did a bad job of explaining how I plan to approach
this.

My intension is not to build a SAX version of XPath per se. My
intension is to optimize the typical case on our documents, and
provide a fallback solution for the non-typical case.

I have not investigated this in any detail, but my current idea is
to take the set of XPath expressions and convert these into state
machines. When I discover that ancestry axes are used by any of the
expressions I will fall back to the DOM solution instead.
