I would strongly recommend that you get involved in the process of
defining these languages and specifications. You will find many
cases where you are able to make a difference simply by alerting the
group to problems that it might not otherwise have noticed. You will
also find cases where you are extremely frustrated because some
other apparently intelligent person passionately takes a view that
is different to your own; if you put aside the frustration and try
to understand their argument you will often come to appreciate that
what is obviously right and good depends on where you are starting
from.

Since we're talking about "except" and language definitions, has anyone
ever proposed a different form (or is there a different form for) the
construct:

div[not(* except (heading,para))]

It's really useful, but I find it frequently brain-melting, especially
as a component of more complex expressions.
