What's the XQueryX syntax for representing an absolute path descending from
the root? If I have a query like

     /article

the only way I can see of writing this, given the existing DTD, is something
like

    <q:query ...>
         <q:step axis="CHILD">
              <q:identifier/>
              <q:identifier>article</q:identifier>
         </q:step>
    </q:query>

Is that correct?
