On a related note, and a possible workaround for what I'm looking at, is 
there a way to anchor a Query at a particular Node other than the root of 
the repository -- so that the Query is performed relative to that Node 
instead of the root?

I'm used to xpath's notion of an initial context node that I can control, 
and I guess I'm looking for something similar here.  Ideas?

Best regards,

Ryan
