Wendell,
> Could you point to the loophole?
The loophole exists in the XPath BNF:
[4] Step ::= AxisSpecifier NodeTest Predicate* | AbbreviatedStep
[12] AbbreviatedStep ::= '.' | '..'
The AbbreviatedStep may not have a predicate after it, unlike a regular
NodeTest Step. I can't think of a reason why this shouldn't be allowed, so
I assume it was an oversight by the W3C committee. Maybe it will be fixed
in Errata or in a future version of XPath.
