There are indeed some different results. Here's a basic rundown:

count() predicate: succesful under DOM, fails quietly under SimpleXML
"|" (union) operator: succesful under DOM, not sure under SimpleXML
"union" operator: fails with error under both
"intersect" operator: fails with error under both
kaysian intersection technique: succesful under DOM, fails under
SimpleXML

I'll have to poke at that further, but at this point it does look like
both APIs can't simply be handing off to libxml.
