XPath satisfiability is undecidable. However, when doing the
undecidability proof, one produces formulas that are only satisfied by
very artificial data words. We propose a measure of data words,
emulating tree-width for graphs, such that the following problem is
decidable: given a number k, and an Xpath formula phi, decide if the
formula is satisfied in a data word of measure at most k.
