[XPath]and[DM]

I agree with your suggestion in the first Point ([XPath] Section
2.5.2). This sets the focus on the flexibility of implementations
and not on the asymmetric relation between string-value and
typed-value, but this is ok here.

I see now that in [DM] Section 3.3.1.3 the first sentence is correct
because it says "typed-value and string-value properties" (and not
only "typed-value and string-value") as you emphasized.

But I would prefer here a note like for string-values ("If an
implementation stores only the string-value of a node, the following
considerations apply:...") which says, that the relation between
string-values and typed-values is not symmetric, because this can
not be obvious to the reader (me) at this point of the document (-->
[DM]6.2.4 typed-value).

But, ok, this is no tutorial. So I reopen the bug but if you will
close it you will see no protest.
