  It's in 5.4.2 actually ...

  This would be taken as an XPath function evaluation failure, and at
the XPath level be considered a sub resource error as defined at
  http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/CR-xptr-20000607.html#dt-sub-rsc-err
  
  We intend to remove the ambiguity by changing:

  "of the document, the expression fails."

  by

  "of the document, this generates a sub-resource-error"

  similarily since in most case this cannot be detected statically,
we intent to change this and indicate in the last cases for both
start-point() and  end-point() must generate a sub-resource-error.

  Do you agree with those modifications ?
