A cycle for treating one only element ? And recordset are ordered: foo[3] 
returns the third foo child.

IMHO, this will return all the <bar> child of the last <foo>, whose position 
regarding their <foo> parent is inferior or egal to limit

Considering the following situation
<foo>
  <foo id="foo1">
    <bar/>
  </foo>
  <foo id="foo2">
  <bar/>
  </foo>
  <foo id="foo3>
  </foo>
</foo>
i would like to catch foo2 with limit = 2 or 3, and foo1 with limit = 1
