Being impatient, here's my dirty hack to make things work for me:
< IDENTIFIER: <LETTER> (<LETTER>|<DIGIT>)* >
to
< IDENTIFIER: <LETTER> (<LETTER>|<DIGIT>)* (["+"])? >
I know that's the wrong solution, but that's probably the best I can do.

Ugh. This is getting more difficult each step. Apparently
ExpressionParser doesn't like + as part of an attribute name. I was
hoping I could simply slice that off the end of an path component
string when found by PathIterator.next().
I don't know if I have enough time to learn JJTree & JavaCC,
particularly since I haven't done anything with compilers in 15 years.
Any suggestions for me on this one?
