We only need a tiny subset of XPath, I think. My main use-case was
where you have:
<objects>
<object name="flibble" value="1"/>
<object name="blarg" value="2"/>
...
</object>
It would be nice if one could say:
conf.getNode("/objects/object[@name="flibble"]/@value");
I can't think of any more complicated common real-world scenario, but then I'm
not very imaginative:)
