You may notice that I have added a new protected attribute to class ValueFilter called 'element'. The current element is assigned to this attribute, which makes it possible to extract tags, etc., in the filter method. This could potentially be useful for other filters, but I was unsure if this was an appropriate change. At least with my casual observations, I have not noted any significant increase in memory or CPU use.

However, if no one else has any concerns, it would be nice to have this committed. It opens some other interesting possibilities for filters.

Cheers.
