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)
