I like the direction this simplified syntax is taking. One exception, however, concerns the "$" notation used in calculate. I understand that this is to expose XPath variables with the appropriate evaluation context to make expressions easy -- avoiding the need for explicit navigation up and down the implicit data model. What would the WG think of defining a new non-XPath based attribute supporting an alternative expression language (perhaps E4X?) that would avoid the need for this particular bit of ugliness?
