But it needs to be included in the matching pattern; see below.

But yes, it is of interest; I need to match variablelist containing *nothing but* title?,varlistentry+. There can not be any other elements, and if there is a title, it must come first.

Your variablelist[varlistentry] matches variablelist elements if they contain one or more varlistentry children; but also if they contain myriads of other elements as children, which is not what I need.
