Hi Roman,

I think there are errors in your suggested correction, as well as in the new 
WD

First it is, as I understand it, illegal in XPath to follow a "/" with a 
predicate.

Second the use of "==" as an equality test is not an XPath 1.0 construct, to 
the best of my knowledge. In XPath "=" is used and I think the WD needs to be 
corrected in that regard, since I understand the intent is to follow XPath 
1.0 syntax.
