.... none of them were reasonable from my point of view, thats
why I'm trying to understand why should somebody 'corrupt'
the XML-based dataflow ...
I think that such 'corruption' is better to be done *not* with regular
expressions but with appropriate 'formatting objects' .
I mean that if, for example, we need to capitalize first
character in some
word, it is better to write trivial rendering layer which
will make this
capitalization,
<snip/>
For me (at work) my use case is, for example to expand
a word to provide separation for a speech synth, but an implementation
of the XSL audio properties would do the same thing.
the only other use case I have is effectively xpointer.
This is not grep like, but says things like, this element, fourth word
through tenth word, or fourth word (single location.)
Our use case is for 'bookmarks' into an xml file that a customer
is reading, puts down and needs to save a specific place at a deeper
level than element.
