It's the definition of Step (I'm only including the relevant parts of the
grammar):
Step: AxisSpecifier NodeTest Predicate*
AxisSpecifier: AxisName '::' | AbbreviatedAxisSpecifier
AbbreviatedAxisSpecifier: '@'?
NodeTest: NameTest | NodeType '(' ')' |
'processing-instruction' '(' Literal ')'
Which allows for:
'@' NodeType '(' ')'
and
'@' 'processing-instruction' '(' Literal ')'
Which is total nonesense.
