Is there a straightforward way (or, heck, any way) of placing mixed

tools?
So far, I've tried SimpleXML and the DOM and things aren't coming out well.
Not sure if it is of any use to you, I don't use XPath at all, but this
php class modifies existing DOMDocument objects for filtering purposes
and may give you an idea of how it is done:
http://www.clfsrpm.net/xss/cspfilter_class.phps
For a clearer example of adding a node to an existing document -
from
http://www.clfsrpm.net/xss/dom_script_test.phps
That page is hard to read as it was butchered from another script, so
here are the demonstrative parts:
$import_prepare = '<div>' . $somexmlcontentinastring . '</div>';
$newDom = new DOMDocument("1.0","UTF-8");
$newDom->loadXML($import_prepare);
$elements = $newDom->getElementsByTagName("div");
$imported_div = $elements->item(0);
Now - $imported_div is an object node containing all the xml in
import_prepare (you don't have to put it in a div, I did there because
it's a form so I don't know the structure of xml input, putting it in a
div gave me a known element that would be parent of all input) - but it
is a node for the $newDom DOMDocument, I need to import it into the
DOMDocument I am using.
$testDiv = $myxhtml->importNode($imported_div,true);
Now, $testDiv an a DOM object associated with the DOMDocument I want to
import the node into.
$xmlBody->appendChild($testDiv);
Now the node is a child of the $xmlBody node, and has been incorporated
into my DOMDocument.

importHTML() is problematic with some characters. Better to convert your
additions to well formed xml and use importXML();

While I am currently using DOMDocument for everything (yes, everything),
I'm still learning it - do not consider me a guru on it's use.
