I must admit I haven't a real usecase... wouldn't it be convenient to
search (and replace) substrings (the XPath string functions are pretty
limited) ?

RDBMS are storing strongly structured data but still need a "like"
clause (and some of them (PostgreSQL) are providing regexp extensions
which are very convenient), I don't see why it wouldn't be the case with
XML documents !
