The low-level parser is explicitly written to support any format 
which resembles XML, and will have no problem handling HTML. 
Regarding higher level APIs: with validations turned on, HTML 
would surely be rejected (it breaks many XML well-formedness 
constraints); with validations turned off, it may or may not 
work, because higher level APIs implicitly assume that their 
input is well-formed.

As for XPath, I probably won't have time to work on it during 
GSoC, but if everything goes well I may work on it after the end 
of the project.
