Yip, noticed that. My proposals "Affinity", "Gluon" pointed in that direction 
and "Kommutator", or at least "Commutator", also has a scientific background.

Affinity is my favorite as it also means similarity, which I connect to 
transformations, electron affinity "transforms" atoms to molecules 
and "navigates" electrons (in some sense).
Gluons, the quasi particles representing the strong interaction, do the same 
one level downwards. They drive quarks to become bosons, IIRC. The strong 
interaction is the one with the highest energy, the most powerful. And that's 
what's the XPath/XSLT/XQuery thingie is about: elementary but powerful.

Just my two cents,
Stefan
