Re:  XPath to test that a middle name consists of a let
Perhaps. But this didnbt look like questioning the requirement, it
looked like denouncing it. There is a difference between bhere is
how to do what you asked for, are you sure that is what you want
your code to do because b&b and byour requirement is evilb.

It seems to me that bare you sure that is what you want your code to
dob is reasonable, responsible, and helpful. I think name calling in
response to a business requirement is unhelpful.
