The way I read the XPath 1.0 specification, queries like "//*/
text()/.." and
"//*/child::text()" should be valid. xmllint seems to agree with me,
but xsltproc gives syntax errors for those constructions.
Which one is correct?

$ xsltproc err1.xsl -
error
xsltCompileStepPattern : 'child' or 'attribute' expected
compilation error: file err1.xsl line 6 element template
xsltCompilePattern : failed to compile '//*/text()/parent::node()'

$ xsltproc err2.xsl -
error
xsltCompileStepPattern : Name expected
compilation error: file err2.xsl line 6 element template
xsltCompilePattern : failed to compile '//*/text()/node()/..'
