I think Andrew's explanation here was a bit confusing. "." and $this are
nodes. Operations like name(.) or ./@score treat the value as a node. But
other operators like "=" and "+" extract the content of the node - in XSLT
1.0 terms, the string value. So when you say [.='Scotland'], you're using
the string value of the node, but "." is actually the node.
