My favorite part about this technique is that it uses CSS selectors 
to extract data from the (X)HTML page.
/me goes to see what languages have CSS selector support
Unfortunately, it appears that not many languages have support for 
using CSS selectors to extract content. The only real example I've 
seen is this:
http://ripcord.co.nz/behaviour/
Which uses CSS selectors in javascript to apply behaviors (which, 
IMNSHO, is awesome).
Does anyone know of CSS selector implementations in any other 
languages? (besides in-browser support)
