So

<foo>
    <bar>
       <baz>
          <x name="greater-than">
                <y />
          </x>
       </baz>
    </bar>
</foo>

would emit the triple:

x greater-than z

presumably you have a mechanism to rename the triple e.g.

<triple s="eg:x" p="foo:greater-than" o="eg:z" />

that would be nice.
