Check out David Li's JXPath demo.  The DOM is generated by XMLC and
then XPath is used to query nodes in the dom.  Try the following,
for example...

xpath demo.XPath input/Test.html
"/HTML/BODY/TABLE[@id='t2']" 

Now, if that was XHTML, I'd have to do this...

xpath demo.XPath input/Test.html "/html/body/table[@id='t2']"

I'd like to be able to use the latter in all cases, not worry about
whether I am querying HTML or XHTML.

When you test it out, make sure to create a "build.properties"
file based on the "build.properties.example" file and specify
where the jxpath.jar file is located.  Then just run "ant"
to build the demo.  xpath.bat and xpath.sh are created in the root
of the JXPath demo for running the examples (as I used in the examples
above).

Note that for XMLC-3.0, David plans on utilizing XPath to a great degree,
so this case-sensitivity stuff is really of important for that, but I'd
really like to see it resolved for the XMLC-2.2 release.
