What is a P3P implementation?

There are two xpath interpreters in kdenonbeta:
- kdenonbeta/libkxpath (from me) is functional, but incomplete. Support for 
variables is missing and the classes have no sharing mechanisms, leaving a 
few open memory management issues.
- kdenonbeta/xpath (from Zack Rusin and Richard Moore) is an approach to a 
feature-complete set of implicitly shared xpath-classes, but they consist of 
empty skeleton classes only.

The goal clearly is to integrate these two and get one working, complete and 
efficient XPath implementation on top of KHTML.
