Fully agree. Restricting expressions to only one type would be quite bad
I think. In addition to xpath and jelly it would also be cool with
formatting expressions (ie ${format:<jelly-expression>#type}). As an
example of all three types (xpath, jelly and format) consider a site
with some articles and a calendar on it:
<body>
<p>Your last login: ${format:user.lastLogin#short}</p>
<h3>This months calendar</h3>
<calendar:month currentDate="${jelly:today}"/>
<h3>Articles</h3>
<dom:out select="${xpath:/domVariable/articles/article}
</body>
