Xpath is a *lot* less flexible in terms of reordering elements though.  
Use CSS selectors until that one edge case where you just can't target  
the element you want, and then drop Xpath in there. I think I can  
count on one hand the number of times I've _had_ to use Xpath because  
CSS wouldn't target what I needed to select.
