The context node has to be the matched element. That allows you to have simple expressions like computing the label from attributes present on the matched element. That does not limit the XPath expression. The XPath expression that you provide in the 'label' option is not limited at all. > About the replacing the value if present: > Can this be configurable option in form of true/false? Certainly possible. If false, it must either be ignored or an error. I'd vote for ignored. The default should be 'true' (replace the value). -- --Alex Milowski "The excellence of grammar as a guide is proportional to the paucity of the inflexions, i.e. to the degree of analysis effected by the language considered."
