Well, how would you have done it?
 
BTW I too wish there was a general
syntax for addressing what is inside a 
document tree and outside of it. XForms 
needs both links to external resources as 
well as to nodes within documents.
 
How those links are expressed in terms of 
syntax to provide the binding between ui 
markup and data is not addressed by 
XLink, so XPath became the obvious choice.
