See ​http://www.w3schools.com/xpath/xpath_syntax.asp if you're unfamiliar with XPath syntax.

I do not believe that there is a way to create new XML nodes based on xpath queries. It might be possible to create our own xpath parser in order to determine where in the query the XML stops existing. There may be an easy way of doing this, but I couldn't find it.

Also, Epiar XML documents do not support node attributes, so the @ syntax is unnecessary.
