ok, the major problem lies with in libxml2, since it's current version
does not allow to run xpath queries on a standalone document fragment.
i patched libxml2 and found that these checks seem not to do any harm 
if one removes them (at least a few simple tests worked). 

i will request a patch for libxml2 that solves the problem, but in the 
meantime the answer is: "sorry, you can't xpath document fragments".
