Re: evaluating many predicates on multiple nodes

Yes, but let's not sidetrack from the original question :) Basically all 
examples I have show the attributes example, but I want to nodes 
example, where a node is an element. Any answer on that? So is the 
following statement the most efficient way:
<car>
   <type > bar /type>
   <color> foo </color>

I want to use XPATH to select the cars of type "Mercedes" with color 
"black" say. Currently I do the following:
xindice xpath -c /db/CarCollection -q 
"/car[type='Mercedes']//ancestor::car[color='black']
Thanks
