I think if i understand Ravi correctly, I can summarize the difference between the standard property identification of QTP and XPath method:
Standard properties identifications (descriptive/OR) says to QTP:
"Go search for ALL objects in a specific hierarchy that match a set of property values, hopefully the properties match a single object"
XPath identification says to QTP:
"Hey! I'm here! (or not here), You have a direct reference to me!, no need to search for anything"
its kind of abstracted but hope this helps.
