RE: Inputs and outputs

I'm not at all eager to complicate things with an xpath-like
axis defined by xproc.

But I don't see that slashes are necessarily confused with
xpath.  Way before xpath ever existed, slashes had been 
commonly used to designate hierarchy in file paths and
URIs.  I just think of the use of a slash here as another
case of hierarchical paths like in URIs.
