Actually, I thought the same thing before my commit, WRT the

element path, then promptly forgot to go back and change it. Thanks for
catching this. The node() thing I didn't realize was an issue. Are
there any usage differences between "node()" and "."?
As I understand XPath: "node()" is a node test that yields true for any type of
node whether it be an attribute, element, et cetera. The "." is short for
self::node() and always refers to the node currently being pointed to, the
context node. node() can refer to nodes other than the context node, as in
"child::node()" (all nodes that are immediate children of the context node) or
"ancestor::node()" (all nodes that are parents, grandparents, etc. of the
context node).
