Can you give a precise statement or specific example of what it is you
believe to be impossible?  The XPath 'element/child[1]' gets the value
of the first child of element; isn't that non-recursive retrieval of an
element value?  Claims that it is impossible to access an XML tree with
sufficient specifity using XPath/XSLT need to be quite carefully backed
up in this arena.  Or they need to be carefully qualified by reference
to some deficient implementation of XSL which is nowadays not considered
worthy of the name.
