if i want to select all elements that have at least one, say,
"book" child element, it seems i can do it this way:
//*[name(child::*) = "book"] long way
//*[name(*) = "book"] shorter way
1) is this the easiest way to do it?
2) why doesn't the following work as well?
//*[name(node()) = "book"]
from what i read, the "*" node test matches elements, while the
"node()" test should match all elements, as well as comments and
processing instructions. certainly, it seems that node() should
work as well as *.
or am i misinterpreting something?

p.s. i'm sure my questions will get more challenging over time.
