It is  good idea to have an XPath content filter similar to the regex 
plugin.

The 3 additional jars - how big are they?
Should we stuff it into a "lib/mimeXpath" directory and specify
them to the plugin when loaded  like:

MimeAccessPlugin[XPathFilter][1.0]=org.xmlBlaster.engine.mime.xpath.XPathFileter,classpath=mimeXpath/jaxen.jar:mimeXpath/xy.jar

Is it possible to reuse the lib/ant/xalan.jar ??
