In principle, you could use XSLT with a different expression language from XPath - this just happens to be non-conformant.

Good point. I hope there's no demand for it though :-)

As an implementor, you don't; see MK's earlier post.

But I don't find XPath obscure at all.

There ya go. No doubt my brain was incorrectly wired-up by The Implementor.
