Excellent! Feel free to ask nonintelligent :) questions about how the
tools work, as it documents use-cases which can lead to UI improvements.

I've actually just remembered why xml-grep doesn't grep the tree
structure in the regex - it's to be specified on the command line after
the file name:

xml-grep --subtree '.*' 'core_java.xml' '://ControlflowRule'
xml-cat core_java.xml | xml-grep --subtree '.*' '://ControlflowRule'

If you "man 7 xml-coreutils", the section on the Common Unified
Command Line Convention should explain the gist of it.

Cheers,
Laird.
