E.g.: Is [5] := <A><B/></A> ? Is [2] := <A/><B/> ? I might be sounding pedantic, but in the first case the A element is encountered 'before' the B element in a traversal of the tree structure of the document. Therefore the distinguishing feature between [5] and [2] is that an A element is encountered first, and the first B element is not within the content of that A element? Note I'm not making any assumption about what those two elements are.
