  '//' means any number of nodes
  '/[n]' means the nth child of a node (1-based)
  '<tag>[n]' means the nth instance of this node
  '/[-n]' means the nth child of a node, counting backward
  '/[last()]' means the last child of a node (same as [-1])
  '/[@attr="value"]' means a node with this attribute value
  '/text()' means all of the text data inside a node
            (note this returns just one node, not all the nodes)

For example, C</html/body//table/tr[1]/td/a[@target="_blank"]>
searches an XHTML body for all tables, and returns all anchor nodes in
the first row which pop new windows.

Please note that while this syntax resembles XPath, it is FAR from a
complete (or even correct) implementation.  It's useful for basic
delving into an XML document, however.
