Indeed - it was me who requested this feature, and supplied the patch. Mostly in order to support XML::LibXML::QuerySelector, which extends XML::LibXML to support CSS selectors... `my @important_paragraphs = $xmlnode->querySelectorAll('body p.important');` [download] XML::LibXML::QuerySelector passes the selector on to Corion's module, which returns it an XPath. It then queries XML::LibXML for the XPath, then passes the list of the results through a "descendent of" function to make sure that all returned elements are children of the original `$xmlnode`. TL;DR: XML::LibXML::QuerySelector implements W3C Selectors API Level 1 for XML::LibXML. `perl -E'sub Monkey::do{say$_,for@_,do{($monkey=[caller(0)]->[3])=~s{::}{ }and$monkey}}"Monkey say"->Monkey::do'`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
