Hello,

I have a question about the usage of XPath expressions. 

In the latest XQuery specifications it says that the last step of a
XPath expression can now return a sequence of nodes (I.2 29 Oct 2004).
Looking at the grammar rules (A.1 EBNF), it seems that PathExpr (rule
61) is a special form of an OrExpr (43), which can only return a
"true" or "false" value.

Are the specifications not clear on this point or am I missing something?

Thanks in advance for any help!
