You're right. I got caught up just thinking about the document case.

PROPOSAL:

  The match option can match element, text, processing-instruction,
  and comment nodes.

Change the description of err:XC0025 to read

  It is a dynamic error (err:XC0025) if the match pattern matches the
  document element and the value of the position option is "before" or
  "after" or if the match pattern matches anything other than an
  element node and the value of the position option is "first-child"
  or "last-child".

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
