Indeed, but I like to explore ideas such as this one thoroughly before
deciding to invoke simplicity. You may have noticed that I've come up
with, and participated in blue-sky discussion of, some pretty wacky
ideas that never made it into ZPT ;-)
On the other hand, useful constructs such as '|'-paths and
'?'-interpolation weren't part of the original spec, but have proved
useful enough to justify inclusion, so I like to keep an open mind.
Cheers,
