NO !
I applied your patches. Nearly all the XPath and XPointer tests of
the testsuite were broken. The patch didn't applied cleanly due to
small changes commited in CVS in the meantime (patch from Albert
Chin-A-Young). I might have made an error in making the changes manually
but I really checked.
So I rolled it back ...
Please don't send patches where "make test" fails unless you can
justify that the tests are broken (in which case patch to the test results
are welcome).
