simon willison

is getting into using spath
to mine xhtml

.

my own personal “aha” moment came when i discovered that i could
hack together an obnoxiously simple script to
convert xhtml to
rss [ which produces this site’s rss feeds ] over a cup of coffee or two. i found the xpath expressions oddly
intuitive and have always had big notions of “enriching” the
metadata of the
vast wasteland

to slice and dice things in interesting ways.
