SECTION 3.2.4: Abbreviated Syntax 3.2.4, bullet 3, gives an explanation of // as being effectively replaced by /descendant-or-self::node()/ However, this is only true for // used in non-initial positions. If // is used at the beginning of a path expression, it is effectively replaced by fn:root(self:node()) treat as document-node()/descendant-or-self::node() as explained in 3.2 Path Expressions. So we need to make it clear here. Or repeat the abbreviation of the initial '/' and '//' here in 3.2.4 as well. - Steve B.Received on Monday, 16 February 2004 16:51:41 GMT
