  Oops i didn't finish that argument

  supose we have somewhere

    <foo>
      ...
    </foo>
    <foo>
      ...
    </foo>

 first are the element always sorted in a coherent fashion internally
so that if we do //foo[2] we know which one is pointed at, or if
we can guarantee order can we guarantee that for all constructs there
is an identifier like an attribute allowing unique selection (like
availability of an ip address)
 My concern is an API with hole, where there is no way to guarantee
reaching the element we want to modify, and risking touching something
else. Say for example 2 interface with DHCP and no IP...
