That way we get the best of both worlds -- we get just the features we want and we don't have to reinvent the wheel. Further, if at some point down the road we decide we want more powerful filtering/selection then we can go back to the trough and sip a bit more of the XPath juice.

There are two problems with this approach:
1) It might not be easy to get the WG to agree on a minimal subset
2) An "arbitrary" subset of Xpath isn't likely to be easily supported
