In XPath, they use the [] as the conditional expression.  If we use
that to reference values and attrs, how do we do conditionals?

Oh, is this legal in SDL?

example foo=1
example foo=2

If duplicate tag names are allowed, then we'll need to be able to say this:

"return the tag with the name 'example' with an attr name foo equal to 2"

in xpath, it's something like example[@foo='2']
