Yes.  I do not think that this feature is required to declare a victory.  
I also think that delay is more fatal than lack of features.

I strongly believe that each feature should be introduced after considering 
how to create tree automata.  Backtracking implementations are easier, but 
they ocasionally perform exhaustive search and issue inappropriate 
error message.
