Finally an example!

/A [.//C/@name ="something"]

1) Is the blank space between /A and [.//C/@name ="something"] significant?

2) Are these two expressions or one?

Anybody care to try a 25-word or less explanation in English?

I assume this Path expression goes into an XML attribute as a string,
perhaps the T Processor, so its evaluation would be dependent on
context.
