RE: [XPath] matching elements which satisfy a specific content model

Hi Tobi.
How does your function handle nodes with namespace??? Since DTDs doesn't
have namespaces but have prefixes it might think that xsl:stylesheet
(with xsl=http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform) and xsl:stylesheet (with
xsl=http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl) are the same element (they ave the same
name and the same prefix)???

The syntax could look familiar to those who write DTDs,

That's one of my objections. this would mainly be of use for people 
who have a DTD and would copy the content models from the DTD to the 
Xpath,


No, this is not what people should do, and they would have no reason to.

The specification of the function would not mention the acronym "DTD", 
as I should not have mentioned it. It helped much less than it confused.

but with your suggestion the result would be syntactically correct but

mean something completely different to its DTD meaning because of the 
namespace issues.


No, not completely different; just the obvious namespace issues which 
are clearly specified for all XPath functions AFAIK.
