I did mean that, thank you!

Note, many text editors will show matching ( ), [ ] and { } but not 
matching | and | and not matching « and », which was part of the 
motivation for my @{...} proposal.

«{ .... ~~{...}~~  ..... ~~{ ... }~~ ... }» would be OK by me, and would 
meet Mike Kay's goal of getting a non-ascii character into XPath (or 
XQuery) :D But overall sticking to ASCII will likely make life easier in 
the tech support world, even today.
