(//Value)[1]
I've started teaching /descendant::Value[1] as a more intuitive and
transparent solution to this little (but consequential) conundrum.
It's also reassuring to newcomers who want a simple thing to be
simple
What you gain somewhere, you loose it elsewhere. For example in the
simple "definition" of "//" (something like "it is identical to
descendant::").
I think that to know the language, you have to know such subtleties.
But of course, at the biginning, using a less error-prone alternative
is best. And I think the abbreviate syntax is more intuitive and
readable to the non-used eye.
