whether they are using xpath or c# or python or whatever, then if they 
are using an IDE that fills in some blanks and defaults some values, 
they should be aware that those values may affect the result, yes.

The fact that it's not always easy to see the settings is a problem, but 
not one directly related to the subject line of the thread.
