Here are minor typographical error reports for the XSL working draft [1]
based on one reading. Please feel free to ignore this mail; (W3C technical
reports sometimes get lots of errata reports at late stages, so I thought
it might help to submit these at the draft stage).
Sorry I don't know most of the differences between US and UK English --
several things pointed out here are probably completely correct. Quotes are
indented four spaces, and my attempt at editing follows each entry.

A // can be used instead of / to select from descendants
instead of from children. For example, a pattern chapter//p
selects all the p descendants of chapter children of the
current node, and it matches all p elements that have a
chapter ancestor.
A pattern can also start with //. //foo means the same as
/.//foo: it selects the foo descendants of the root node,
which implies that it selects all foo elements. When a
pattern starts with // the current node is irrelevant.

just wondering if this should include '.', as in:
