Hi Folks,

I have a variable, $tokens, whose value is a sequence of items.

I want to select all items after the first item. Here is one way to do it:

$tokens[position() gt 1]

To my eyes, that is not beautiful code.

Is there a beautiful (i.e., succinct) way to select all items after the

first item?

There is

B tail($tokens)

in XPath 3 and

B subsequence($tokens, 2)

in XPath 2 and later, I think.
