Or XPath "$breakfast except > child::donut". (It turns out that being mentally able to translate > abbreviated XPath into long XPath is also a useful skill.) I still want a better syntax for using negated except in predicates, such as: div[not(* except (heading,para))] ("div elements which have only heading and para child elements" only it's really "div elements where none of the child elements are anything except heading and para") which is extremely useful if you're trying to separate elements into "normal children, process normally" and "this element is a special case" but admit I can't think of one. -- Graydon
