Description
Hi there, I apologize if I'm missing something obvious, but it looks like fast_xml puts out records that are incompatible with things like xmerl_xpath. Is that intentional? I wasn't able to find anything about xmlel. It'd be great if I could use it as a drop in replacement for xmerl's scan but still be able to use its xpath querying. Thanks!

Research direction
The issue names fast_xml's xmlel records, xmerl_scan, and xmerl_xpath but mentions no repository files or tests. Start by comparing the record shapes and XPath expectations, then establish whether drop-in compatibility is intended; done requires a documented compatibility decision and maintainers' agreement on the scope.
