[vtkusers] Does XDMF support wildcards?

Hi folks,

Does anybody know if XDMF support wildcards? My intention is do 
something like:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<!DOCTYPE Xdmf SYSTEM "Xdmf.dtd" []>
<Xdmf xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude" Version="2.0">
   <Domain>
      <Grid GridType="Collection" CollectionType="Temporal">
         <Grid Name="Test mesh" Type="Uniform">

            <Time TimeType="List">
              <DataItem Format="XML" NumberType="Float" Dimensions="7">
		   0.0 0.1 0.5 1.0 1.1 10.0 100.5
              </DataItem>
            </Time>

            <Topology Type="Tetrahedron" NumberOfElements="   108104 " 
BaseOffset="1">
               <DataItem Dimensions="432416" NumberType="Int" 
Format="HDF">foo_[**].h5:/incid</DataItem>
            </Topology>

            <Geometry Type="XYZ">
               <DataItem Dimensions="61767" NumberType="Float" 
Precision="8" Format="HDF">foo_[**].h5:/coords</DataItem>
            </Geometry>

         </Grid>

      </Grid>
   </Domain>
</Xdmf>

The block above would load 7 files (corresponding to the time values 
listed) with name pattern foo_[**].h5, where [**] is the wildcard 
representing the file numbers (00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06). It's 
comparable with what Ensight case files use to represent name patterns. 
Maybe it could be done using functions, but I can't figure out how it's 
used with grids.

Renato.
