90 <p>Selectors

92 are patterns that match against elements
93 in a tree structure and are used in Web technologies, including

103
104 <p>It is so flexible language that a conceptually same pattern
105 can be represented in inifnite numbers of instances of selectors.
106 It might be convinient for e.g. validation of a test result to
107 define a subset of the language, in which no semantically equivalent
108 selectors are contained.</p>

118 <time datetime=2007-09-25>at the time of the writing</time>.
119 Note that current Web browser implementations
120 of the <code>selectorText</code> attribute are consistently broken
121 in not escaping unsafe identifiers and therefore it is not wise
