Hmm. Looks kind of like a regex to me... I guess 

  <foo>

should be interpreted as meaning "regular expression" and

  <value>

as the regex pattern? That means that "45.67" could match

  45A67

then? In that case, what does

  <foo>
     <value>45.67</value>
     <value>23.12</value>
  </foo>

mean?
