How so? If the value of the element selected in an XPath statement
multiplied by 100 was equal to a particular value of interest wouldnt
you want to select that value and print it to the output stream?
I do see your point from a strict "selection of an element"
standpoint... but XPath is much more than just selecting elements and
attributes from a given path in your XML data set. And with XPath 2.0
comes the ability to do extensive calculations and conditional selection
of data elements and attributes far beyond what the word "Path" would
typically suggest in computing terms. I guess thats where the
eXtensible part of XPath comes in...

You're interested in the result of the calculation, aren't you?
Yes. Thanks.
