Simulating dynamic evaluation of XPath Expressions "by calling selectNodes() within
a JScript extension" is not always possible. 

The simplest example is: 

$p | $q

It would not be possible to evaluate any XPath expression including nodes from more
than one tree, because selectNodes() treats the passed XPath expression as relative
to the IXMLDOMNode object, against which the method is invoked.

Or am I wrong?
