XPath terminology is a bit weird, because XPath has a somewhat competing standard XQuery...
XPath is based on DSSSL, which had a complex expression language for building paths in the XML trees that was based on the Scheme language.
(Which is the experience that makes me hesitant just jumping headlong into another expression language...)
