XQuery: request for simplification


The following expressions are all legal
expressions and equivalent:

$x/attribute::*
$x/attribute::attribute()
$x/attribute::attribute(*)
$x/attribute::attribute(*,*)
$x/@*
$x/@attribute()
$x/@attribute(*)
$x/@attribute(*,*)

Are we really sure we need 8 semantically identical
but syntactically different expressions? It will create a
lot of confusions in understanding this language.
