271	XPath gets lost when indexing children	anonymous	cmlenz	"[Sorry if my terminology is inaccurate, but I am no XML expert...]

Here is what I do:

{{{
from genshi.input import html
from genshi.filters import Transformer
html = HTML('<ul><li>item1<ul><li>subitem11</li></ul></li><li>item2<ul><li>subitem21</li></ul></li></ul>')
print html | Transformer('li[1]/ul').attr('attribute', 'value')
}}}

Then I do get what I expect (sub-ul of first top-level li selected):

{{{
<ul><li>item1<ul attribute=""value""><li>subitem11</li></ul></li><li>item2<ul><li>subitem21</li></ul></li></ul>
}}}

But if:

{{{
print html | Transformer('li[2]/ul').attr('attribute', 'value')
}}}

I would expect that sub-ul of second top-level li be selected), but here is what I get:

{{{
<ul><li>item1<ul><li>subitem11</li></ul></li><li>item2<ul><li>subitem21</li></ul></li></ul>
}}}

In other words: nothing is selected.
