The problem with XPath is that it isn't an abstraction so I can't cross search - I can then only discover those things that have been indexed in a LOM data base and not those other things that might also described some other way

5) Structured Querying.  We don't want to go there.  Simple container

searching isn't sufficient.  They're going to want to specify a specific

instance of an element, either by offset or by a content value.  That's

what XPath is for and I'm not interested in seeing us duplicate it.
