Wendell,
Interesting read! I think I'll keep your response around as food for
thought. It's fascinating how a simple syntax like XPath, so naturally
ingrained into the mind of an XSLT author, has the ability to become so
intricate, complex and precise. And even further fascinating that much
of its structure that provides for that complexity is based on the
foundations of a language as blindingly simple as XML.
Indeed. It's an obscure enough area that whatever form of elegance
you prefer, you'll be doing someone a favor to include a comment
explaining what it does. (Or by not doing so, if you know for a fact
that they prefer puzzles.)
I'm definitely the latter. :)
