I'm still a little confused. The example of the root element is:
The nth root of a is is given by
<apply> <root/>
<ci> n </ci>
<ci> a </ci>
</apply>
By your comments it should be <degree><ci> n </ci></degree>. ... Actually
now that I read the section (4.4.3.11) more closely, it also seems to
indicate the example given is in error.
