No, I know what XPath is.  I've worked a lot with XSL 
transforms.  What I don't know is how it can be used to 
extend the filtering mechanism.

Hmm.

Basically, XPath is a navigational notation for the DOM.  I 
guess there're 2 kinds of XML involved here: the filter 
rules and the actual messages.   The goal would be to apply 
the rules to the messages and reformat the messages 
appropriately, right?  Sounds like a job for XSLT.

I think I'm answering my own question here :)
