How do you separate the file name XPath from the XML > XPath? My suggestion was simply about unifying the namespace for selection in the file system and selection within XML files using a syntax related to (but not necessarily identical with) XPath. I was not suggesting you should do anything special with the content of the XML files, even if the XML file contains an XPath reference. (The latter could be interesting to think about as a separate issue later, but it is certainly not part of my simpler suggestion.)
