FWIW, we've had this discusion before. See:

<http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200701/msg00002.html>

We agreed there that relying on xpath is not a good idea; as Elias  
points out, there is a well-known impedence mistmatch between the  
xpath and RDF data models.

If the use case at issue is the one that Michael outlines in the  
message -- how to display the content of a field that references a  
subject -- then can we perhaps just focus on that?
