Ahh yes, while we're casting imaginary votes, I want that macro feature too.
:)

It is the feature I didn't know I wanted back when I asked this question:

I basically wanted to be able to define a complex XPath expression somewhere
once, then reuse it here and there as needed.

In the end, I took Wendell and Eliot's advice to emulate a macro using a
function and templates:

/msg00011.html

but a macro capability would certainly be much more elegant! The
function/template approach works, but is verbosely verbose.
