It's not that he wants AttributeSelector to return a generic DOM node, it's that he wants it to be able to use an arbitrary node as the root for some data, which may be a single value or may be mixed content. True, in the standard there are no datatypes that support this, but you can write a custom datatype (and custom functions) that do. When you do so, you can't select it with an AttributeSelector since that mechanism is restricted to work only with attributes/text/etc. Basically, it's a shame that you need to write a new function that acts just like AttributeSelector for any new datatype you invent that is represented by mixed content in a DOM tree. On this point I agree. seth
