The spec may not be as clear on this point as it needs to be.  But in fact
the grammar given for the "required subset" of XPath describes the subset of
XPath that serves as a kind of implementation minimum:  all conforming
validators must support at least that subset of XPath, more or less as all 
conforming processors must support decimal numbers with up to a sixteen digits
of precision.  Just as schemas can use more than sixteen digits in a
decimal number, so also schemas can use XPath expressions that do not fall
into the "required subset" of XPath.

So strictly speaking I don't think there's an error here, although it seems
likely that the description of the "required subset" should be made clearer.
