Hi,
it would be nice if the method numberValueOf() defined with Element, would allow a default value if the specified xpath doesn't return null result, e.g. numberValueOf(xpath, defaultval). (This is similar to the attributeValue() method). Also, it would be nice if there were a numberAttributeValue() method which converts the attribute value to an integer (with a default value if the attribute does not exist).
