True and my last name means "men" in french, I guess it's better than
the previous Dutch prime minister's lastname which was "Kok" ;-)

I have not used selectors in the locationmap that much myself so that
part is probably least tested. The thing with selectors in the context
of the locationmap is that the concept makes less sense in some
situations. Therefore the syntax is a bit different from the selector
syntax in a sitemap:
<select type="exists">
<location src="file://home/styles/site.xsl"/>
<location src="file://forrest/styles/site.xsl"/>
</select>

Hopefully :-). I promise to monitor forrest-dev more closely from now on.
