Great timing!  I have been struggling to get the xpath command line tool to
do something similar with some xml I have.  Can anyone solve Bob's question

Thanks from me too!

I'm not afraid of insects taking over the world, and you know why? It would
take about a billion ants just to AIM a gun at me, let alone fire it. And
you know what I'm doing while they're aiming it at me? I just sort of slip
off to the side, and then suddenly run up and kick the gun out of their
hands.
