    There's one restriction, though, in that general steps must 
    return nodes (rather than atomic values). This restriction 
    is lifted only for last step in a path, which can return 
    atomic values instead (though it's not permitted for it to 
    return atomic values in some cases and nodes in other cases).
    
    In other words, you can do things like:
    
      keyword/lower-case(.)
    
    but you can't do:
    
      keyword/lower-case(.)/substring-before(., '-')

Jeni, you say general steps must return nodes except for the last step?
This latter 'last step' returns an atomic value as I see it (a string).

What is wrong with it?
