That might be, but libxml is an XML library. Beware that it also does not construct a conforming HTML DOM, so your CSS selectors may not always do what you expect. I think there might be more interest in an htmlclass() function in XPath, so that div[htmlclass(@class, "sock")] would match <div class="sock"> or <div class="cotton sock order"> and not <div class="socks"> I dare say a patch (or external library) to implement CSS level 3 selectors would be considered (it's not up to me). I didn't say XPath was easier to use, though, I said it was more powerful.
