Thanks for the reply, TonyM.
Looks like I'll continue with my plugin. Maybe I'll clean it up and publish
it--just a simple plugin that has some xml tools.
I was also thinking about xpath filter operators or reference indexes. (
{{MyXmlRecipe##food[name="French Toast"]/price}} ), or something like that.
Dunno who'd use it.
