   Question for Geeks:
   XPath and JSONPath are similar, but different. That presents a problem for me since I'm building a system to query ActivityStreams objects that can include HTML wrapped in JSON.

   Should I:
   - Use XPath syntax for both JSON and HTML?
   - Use JSONPath syntax for both JSON and HTML?
   - Use either JSONPath and XPath depending on underlying datatype?

   If you were writing a query, would you accept needing to know both syntaxes?
