RE: A simple XQuery(XPath) question...

The subexpression (<mike><bob/><bob/></mike>) evaluates to a <mike> element.
The next step in the path expression tries to find a child of this element
called "mike"; but there isn't one.

The following XQuery expression evaluates to the empty sequence: 


(<mike><bob/><bob/></mike>)/mike/bob 


I would have thought that it evaluated to: 


<bob/><bob/> 


Where am I wrong? 


Thanks,
