I don't speak for the OT here, just a comment to your earlier
comment that AS3 made XPath obsolete. This is not really true.
It is true that with E4X you have almost the same
functionality as XPath, but E4X fails badly if your query
comes from an external source, like if your application needs
to deal with arbitrary XML and the queries are dynamic in
nature (for example provided by a user, etc).
OK, so I'll concede AS3 only 98% makes it obsolete. :)
For you, maybe. For me it'd be more like 25%. Although i think
"obsolete" is a somewhat binary term, like "pregnant", no?
