I can't stand the XMLTable syntax. I like the idea of turning an xpath expression into a result set, but in practice it's a massive pain in the ass.

I am almost always working with legacy schemas, many generated by long-extinct tools or developers, and being a genuinely curious person, wandering down strange code paths to see if I can satisfy random reporting requests.
