Just for the record I was not proposing to use XQuery, but XPath which
is already implemented in all browsers in version 1.0. For my use-case

be enough. And there are already two implementations of this, if that
counts.

How in your opinion should be JS integrated into CSS? By using something
like IE's expression() or in a some different way?
