  (//c)[1]

  It works fine (at least in libxml).

  Am I missed something? Are such
  expressions valid in XPath 1.0?

yes, yes.

production [15] says a parenthesized expression is a PrimaryExpr
production  [20] says a FilterExpr is a PrimaryExpr
optionally followed by a Predicate (which is an Expression surrounded by
[] by production [8]

and production [19] says a FilterEXpr is a PathExpr
