Interesting spec: I can see uses for it elsewhere. A quick question,
(since grubbing around shows you to be the author;): in section 3.3,
"Path Segments," the semantics of <path match="foo"> are to match the
"next" element in the current path, right? Rather than matching any
random element (CSS style), or (for instance) the last element (which
would be useful in particular for the empty pattern and filename globs).

Is the spec frozen / dead, or could we suggest additions? E.g.:

 <path any="archives">

and:

 <path last="">

I can certainly put such extensions into another namespace, but they
seem reasonably tightly connected to the existing "first match" semantics.
