-----------------------------------------------------------------

Good points.

I am still make sure I understand the existing code completely. Adding lots of 
comments.

I was not going to allow wild-cards in the forEach parameter. Can you think of 
a use case?

Your second point is covered. At this point my plan is to scrap skipTag, 
replacing it with equivalent inline code. Then after I have found some way of 
recording //tagnames within the node tree (I am considering the fact that 
currently it is invalid for the rootNode to have attributes; and I was thinking 
of abusing the rootNode attributes field and using it to store //tagname Node 
trees). Then where skipTag would currently be called, I would instead compare 
the parsed localname against the "attributes" of the rootTag.

Potential issues I intend to ignored are. If we have: 
{noformat} 
column="e" xpath="//e/f...@qualifier='fullTitle']"
column="d" xpath="/a/b/c/d" flatten="true"
{noformat} 

and the XML stream contains
{noformat} 
/a/b/c/d/e...
{noformat} 
Then I will not populate column 'e'.  Also the expression for column 'd' which 
is an absolute Xpath takes precedence over that for column 'e'.

Thoughts?
