Yes, user-defined function is an option and such approach is completely reasonable, but only in the context of XSLT or XQuery. XPath is often used standalone for querying document -- for example simple queries run over DOM API in application, using XPath search box in XML editor. This is probably only thing for which CSS Selectors are more convenient than XPath and I would like to keep XPath to be the best query language for HTML documents. This makes this function sort of special and for me this is a good enough reason to have such function directly available in the language. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug.
