| I was thinking about reusing of XPath concept in TMCL. XPath allows
| efficiently reference objects without explicitly naming them.
| In logic functors are used for the same purpose.
| 
| So let's do XPath not by XML document structure but by TAO data model...
| 
| We can call it TAOPath (or TPath) in  this case :-)

This is very similar to what I discussed in my introductory talk in
the TMQL session, which was called tmfun in the slides. I'll try to
write up a description of it as soon as possible and post it
somewhere. 

I agree the idea is worthwhile, but there are some difficulties with
it. 

| Anyway, I was just playing with this "TAOPath" when I saw emails
| from Rick and Lars.

I think it's worth pursuing. A simple description of your TAOPath
would definitely be worthwhile publishing, IMHO.
