Oh yes, you're quite right. 

Sorry for the confusion. I'm sure if you spend a few days reading the W3C pages the answer will be obvious. :-)

cheers

Subject:  RE: [slightly OT] question about PAX and XPath


Hi, Malcolm,

I know that selectNodes and selectSingleNodes *do* take XPath; however, my 
understanding (pls correct if I'm wrong!) was that these methods are MS 
extensions of the DOM, and not part of any of the DOM standards (1,2, or 3) 
... hence my concern about using them and my (so far fruitless) quest to 
find standard methods that accept XPath ...

Thanks,
Amanda
