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

I this a full equivalent?

Wouldn't it match the following variablelist element, although it does 
not satisfy content-model(title?,varlistentry+)?
<variablelist>
  <title></title>
</variablelist>

AFAICS, a full equivalent would be even longer and even more complex to 
write.
I guess to be able to describe content models in a simple way, I might 
have to write content-model() in XSLT2 until implementers or the spec 
offer one (or an equivalent) to me ...
content-model() would accept a defined supersimple subset of DTD content 
model syntax, and return a boolean.
