Shouldn't text editors for programmers have find-and-replace with XPath? In the case of invalid XML, like a fragment or HTML, it should try to wrap the text content or convert it to valid XML temporarily in memory using a free tool[1].
This comes up for me all the time when editing HTML. It'd be so convenient. Most of the time I want to do pattern matching it's on markup, and regular expression that can do this have lots of problems:
1) Multiline matching isn't enabled in the tool I'm using. 2) I'm not using perl, so I can't use dynamic patterns. 3) The pattern is fragile and breaks on one of the hundreds of assumptions I didn't take into account.
[1] Or something. I know some hack is possible, else Firefox extensions like Firebug couldn't give me expressions to nodes on arbitrary web pages.
