I am not sure I understand the need for that approach. The iterateNext 
function gives you a DOM node, if you want to make that DOM node the 
context node of another XPath evaluation then you can simply do
   var node = result.iterateNext();
   if (node != null) {
     var secondResult = node.ownerDocument.evaluate(
       'xpathexpression goes here',
       node,
       null,
       0,
       null
     );
