What can you do with Jexl what you can't do with an XPath based
language? My understanding is that they only differ in their syntax
('.' instead of '/').
Now even if Jexl has more functionality I don't see a reason why
this could not be added to an xpath based language.
Personally, I like the jexl syntax (with the dots) more, but if
we decide to go the '/' way of life, well let's do it - it doesn't
really matter.
