The '!' after the 'a' is important there. Wait, I thought I'd grasped the gist of S4 but now you're confusing me :) My reading of Tab's selector is that it matches the <a> in <a><div/></a>. What Martin's XPath matches is the <div> in <section><div/><p><a/></p></section> (amongst many other variants). It's "all div's whose parents have an a descendent". -- Robin Berjon - http://berjon.com/ - @robinberjon
