helpful xpath utilities (for IE5)

Here are a couple of new IE/DHTML utilities for XPath. The first is an
interactive XPath/XSLPatterns expression builder. If you saw my previous
one, this one is a big improvement because it highlights the selected nodes
as you type. If you're trying to learn XPath, it might be helpful. It also
places a dot in front of the selected nodes to help identify the selection
if you type something like this: //*

(requires IE5 and MSXML 3.0)

The second utility automatically abbreviates a verbose XPath expression. It
collapses 'child::', 'attribute::', '/descendant-or-self::node()/',
'self::node()', 'parent::node()', and [position() = 5] variants into their
corresponding abbreviations.

(only requires IE4, I think)

If you find these useful, you may want to check out this similar XSLT
utility:

Any feedback is appreciated,
