I wrote this a few years ago as part of bigger project. After
examining HandsomeSoup, I found that it produces incorrect results in
many cases (e.g. the > relation or the :first-child pseudo class do
not work correctly, or sometimes it returns non element nodes which is
not allowed by the css spec), it supports a more limited subset of CSS
(than hxt-css) and has unrelated dependencies (such as HTTP). Since I
had already written this code, I decided to release it as a stand
alone package even though there was a similar package in hackage
already.

Hello everybody,
I'd like to announce the first public release of hxt-css, a CSS selector engine for the Haskell XML Toolbox (HXT). Its main design goals are:
* support as many CSS selectors as possible: it currently supports all CSS 3 selectors except the ones that do not make sense outside a web browser (e.g. such as :hover). For example, it supports weird things like
div > span + p:not(:nth-of-type(3n-1))
* try to be 100% correct: in all tests I ran, the output of hxt-css was identical to that of firefox & chrome.
* follow the conventions of other hxt packages: for example, error reporting is done the same way as hxt-xpath.
Note, there is already a similar package in hackage called HandsomeSoup.

Can you explain how this differs from HandsomeSoup?
