I had enough people complain about Test::XPath, which tests the structure of XML and HTML documents using XPath. They didn't like how verbose XPath was, preferring CSS selectors. So I ended up with a patch to support CSS syntax, too. CSS-style syntax is part of what people like about JQuery, too. > Well, I'd also say that we don't care about syntaxes which are not > already popular.

If we can draw some parallels, I think that would be sufficient to make people comfortable. >> I do think that the name should be changed if we don’t follow an existing >> standard, as [JSQuery](https://code.google.com/p/gwtquery/wiki/JsQuery) is >> already a thing. > > I saw that too, but I don't get the impression that Google jsquery is > all that active. No? It’s Google. You really want to wrangle with their attorneys? David
