That is right, the syntax lets you do a lot of silly things.  What 
you may be thinking that /DIV P/ does is what the following would do:

/DIV //P//

However, that is equivalent to:

DIV ~ //P/

Now that I look at it I'm going to act on the comment noted in the 
draft and state that the /DIV P/ syntax is not really needed, but I 
suppose it could have it's uses -- despite how awkward it may be to 
implement on a tree document structure...
