Hey Alan Displaying the table using XPath expressions is pretty easy. Right now though updating a document via an XPath expression is pretty hard stuff. XPath is generally used to evaluate expressions on existing documents - its rarely used to actually update documents 'in place'.
Though I think it'd be cool to support a subset of XPath for update purposes. Quite a few people seem to want this feature. e.g. you could do something like update( document, "/foo/bar/@x", "Some value" ); For some xpath expressions this makes sense, though for others like 'count(/foo/bar)' don't make sense though. It'd take some hacking to get the Jaxen XPath engine to be able to support this but it would be kinda cool if we could do this.
