  simply

    rm foo vs. rm @foo 

The semantic so far is that xpath is used to select nodes in the tree, 
probably a goo idea to keep a coherent behaviour

BTW I think I implemented xmlParseBalancedChunkMemory() with the goal
of being able to fork my editor from the shell apssing it a subset of
the tree and load back the modified piece "in situ". But I never took
the time to do it, though it what I would consider most productive
to quickly debug/fix XML or HTML files.
