However, the list of x elements that it finds is saved as a kind

the same document it already knows the answer: which is therefore cheaper
than repeating the /a/b/c/x query. This also applies if the //x is part of a
longer path expression.
I'm not sure I understand what you said here? Does this mean that
contrary to common wisdom and understanding multiple uses of //x will
be more efficient than multiple uses of /a/b/c/x when using Saxon?
