Simple xPath. Specyfication lapse?

Simple xml:

<root i="1">
  <div i="2">
    <other i="3">
      <para i="4"/>
    </other>
    <para i="5"/>
  </div>
</root>

Simple script:

var t=new ActiveXObject('msmlx2.domdocument.6.0');
t.async=false;
t.loadXML('<root i="1"><div i="2"><other i="3"><para i="4"/></other><para 
i="5"/></div></root>');
tt=t.documentElement.selectNodes('div//para');
WScript.Echo(tt[0].xml)

Result: <para i="4"/>

Simple specyfication <http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-xpath-19991116>:

"[...]
// is short for /descendant-or-self::node()/.
[...]
 div//para is short for div/descendant-or-self::node()/child::para
[...]"

hmm... "div/descendant-or-self::node()/child::para"...

Step 1: "div", context: <root i="1">
Result 1: <div i="2">

Step 2: "descendant-or-self::node()",  context: <div i="2">
Result 1: <div i="2">
Result 2: <other i="3">
Result 3: <para i="4">
Result 4: <para i="5">

Step 3.1: "child::para", context: <div i="2">
Result 1: <para i="5">

Ups...
