            Bug ID: 29855
           Summary: [FO31] Non-capturing subexpressions
           Product: XPath / XQuery / XSLT
           Version: Candidate Recommendation

  Target Milestone: ---

The F+O spec states in 5.6.1:

The presence of the optional ?: has no effect on the set of strings that match
the regular expression

This is not strictly true. In the presence of back-references it can index
change the set of strings that match the regex.

I am fixing this by adding "In the absence of back-references (see below), " to
the start of the sentence.
