I think he meant something following this skeleton:

  SELECT ...
    FROM ( SELECT ... 
             FROM ...
            WHERE /* insert preliminary filtering here */
         )

   WHERE /* insert xpath related filtering here */

Hopefully you have a preliminary filtering available that's restrictive
enough for the xpath filtering to only have to check few rows. Kevin
proposes that this preliminary filtering be based on Tsearch with an
adequate index (GiST for data changing a lot, GIN for pretty static
set).

As you can see the two-steps filtering can be done in a single SQL query.
