BTW - I don't think anyone on this thread is suggesting to use XPath
rather than Selectors, which seems to be the argument you're fighting
here.

I was primarily arguing against Antoine's proposal:

Since allowing both XPath and Selectors would clearly be a serious
language design mistake, I assumed Antoine was in fact asking for XPath to
replace Selectors.

If that isn't in fact what is being proposed, then I don't know what is.

Try not to read between the line and just read what I wrote in plain english. I would like to be offered the flexibility to _also_ use XPath selector and not _only_ CSS Selectors for matching nodes onto which applying binding in XBL.
