/**
 * A sample to XMLBeans API features for executing XPath and XQuery
 * expressions. The sample illustrates these features:
 * 
 * - Using the XmlObject.selectPath and XmlCursor.selectPath methods
 * to execute XPath expressions. The selectPath method's results (if
 * any) are always chunks of the instance queried against. In other
 * words, changes to query results change the original instance.
 * However, you work with results differently depending on whether
 * selectPath was called from an XmlObject or XmlCursor instance. See
 * the SelectPath class for more information.
 * - Using the XmlObject.execQuery and XmlCursor.execQuery methods
 * to execute XQuery expressions. Results of these queries are copied
 * into new XML, meaning that changes to results do not change the 
 * original instance. Here again, you work with results differently
 * depending how which method you used to query. See the ExecQuery
 * class for more information.
