I've been puzzled by a similar question.
Although i've never used 'following::node()', the times that i've used
'following-sibling::node()' it appeared to return all nodes after the
context node, regardless of genealogy.  I would have thought that a sibling
element MUST have the same parent as the context node, but that doesn't
appear to be the case.
Or am i missing something...
