At least that is > what I heard through the grapevine. That is correct. The earlier drafts of STXPath disallowed the child axis in predicates, allowing only ancestor:: and parent::. I don't know when this was changed, or what the rationale is.. or whether it is enforced through a static semantic constraint to simplify the grammar. I vaguely remember something about user convenience, and making sure people don't have to write backwards paths (because an absolute path starting with / can be matched in a predicate). Christian
