I just found another utility that is based on XQL: http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/fp/Xtract/ The author describes it thus: "Xtract is a command-line tool for searching XML documents. Just as `grep' returns lines which match your regular expression, so Xtract returns all those sub-trees from XML documents which match a query pattern. The query expression language is simple but powerful, and is based loosely on XQL, the recently proposed XML Query Language. An introduction to the Xtract query pattern language, together with the full Xtract grammar is in this tutorial." "The major difference from XQL is that a query must return a sequence of XML contents (either elements or text inside an element): it cannot for instance return just an attribute value."
