Massive plug: This will be covered in the TclDOM tutorial at
the upcoming Tcl Conference in Vancouver.  So enrol in the
tute, register for the conference and come to Vancouver!

====

selectNode accepts an XPath expression and returns a (static)
list of nodes that match the expression.  To learn about
XPath, grab any good book on XSLT, such as Mike Kay's
XSLT Programmer's Reference.

With XPath, attributes may be selected using the attribute::
axis, or '@' for short.  For example, //*/@href will select
all attributes named 'href' in the document.
