Description Mary Holstege 2006-09-08 15:00:39 UTC 
It took me some time to figure out the path abbreviation rules, both
   as an user and as an implementor. It might be just because of my
   XPath knowledge, but I wonder if it would have been better if it
   were just another axis with convenient syntax, like maybe
   "/r:purchaseOrder/-/r:regions" instead of
   "/r:purchaseOrder/r:regions".

WG agrees that there is some confusion here; need to investigate options
further.
