I don't know about any better place so I'm going to ask here. And 
despite the comments I like this extension to ECMAScript very much.

Why "XPath" on objects is written in this way
   e.employee.(name == "Joe")
e.g. object->object->special_kind_of_object?
 From the JS point of view (erm, MY point of view) I would expect rather
   e.employee[name == "Joe"]
which at first sigh returns object(s) of "type" employee.

There are some other comments linked from the bug #246441. I'm not going 
to read the spec ("specs are always terrible" TM ^_^") to verify their 
validity but maybe someone with insight can share some thoughts on the 
subject.

   Thanks,
     JZ
