Given the fact that XPath is today dominant technology used for
specifying context for search I don't see big difference between
//topic[@class='task']
and
//tasktopic
And anyway, I don't think that inability of some search tool should be
factor that drives our decision. In a long term such decisions usually
prove as not the best ones.
