*************************************************
X-Selector node syntax is a simplification of XPath, but only selects significant ascendants, and choose them in a particular way, in order to be resistant to structure changes:
• ParentNode/ChlidNode/.../MyNode, where a Node can be:
► id or @id : id of node
► tagName:className[index] : select tag with type and class (can be empty to retrieve all)
DIV:row >> Select all DIV with class 'row', or only the first when ascendant.
DIV:row[3] >> Select fourth DIV with class 'row'
