In section 4.2.1.1, the first 2 bullet points list restrictions on the xpath
expression. I thought that, in the 1st F2F in Redmond, we agreed to remove
these restrictions but that seems to have gotten lost. Couldn't find it in the
minutes. 

For example, why restrict the union operator. Using this operator will not
necessarily result in more than one result node.

I believe we discussed moving some of these restrictions to "guidelines" or
"best practices."
