I /think/ the ellipsis is at a wrong place there. Note that I'm coming
from "traditional" match, and I just have wrapped half of my brain
around that (which, BTW, is somewhat painful :-)
So take this with a grain of salt.
* Phenomenology (aka: I barely know what I'm doing):
If you replace your ellipses above by ". ,rest", things seem to work:
(define (unbogus x)
(sxml-match x
((a (@ . ,attrs) . ,rest)
`(a (@ ,@(delete '(shape "rect") attrs)) . ,rest))))
(unbogus '(a (@ (shape "rect") (href "foo.html")) "kid"))
=> (a (@ (href "foo.html")) "kid")
* Philosophy (aka blah, blah)
If those ellipses resemble what match do, I think they are wrong there:
(@ . ,attrs) ...
would mean zero or more times the shape "(@ . ,attrs)". I think this
isn't what you want.
Put grains of salt everywhere :)
Cheers
