What is the intention of using zero-based numbering to index points,
particularly vis-a-vis XPath position()? For instance, does the following
locate the first point in a document (or external parsed entity)?
xpointer(//point()[1])
Or must you do:
xpointer(//point()[0])
If the former, zero-basing the indexes of points seems academic. The
latter, OTOH, seems to redefine XPath positions.
What am I missing?
