Fine - use either XPath or XQuery examples.

If you do that much XML development, surely you can write examples of path
expressions and data that would take me a month to concoct. That would make
it a lot easier to discuss this at a concrete level.
If I am badgering, I am only badgering you to say something concrete enough
to be evaluated. If this bothers you, I can simply ignore your posts,
nobody has to meet my requirements to post to this list. But I won't have
anything useful to say in response to your posts unless you get a little
more concrete.
