+> This looks really interesting.  It reminds me of XPath and its conditionals.
+> Those might actually work well adapted to pagespecs.  For instance, to write
+> "match any page with a child blah", you could just write *[blah] , or if you
+> don't want to use relative-by-default in the conditionals, *[./blah].
