Definitely!
But if I am the dying man and the banana is right in front of my mouth, I

I am happy to state that the provided solution produces the correct

on all currently-existing XPath engines :)
Does that include Oracle and DB2? What if the XPath expression is used
inside an "unordered" expression?

Truly great madness cannot be achieved without significant intelligence.
---------------------------------------
To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk
-------------------------------------
Never fight an inanimate object
-------------------------------------
To avoid situations in which you might make mistakes may be the
biggest mistake of all
------------------------------------
Quality means doing it right when no one is looking.
-------------------------------------
You've achieved success in your field when you don't know whether what
you're doing is work or play
-------------------------------------
To achieve the impossible dream, try going to sleep.
-------------------------------------
Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.
-------------------------------------
Typing monkeys will write all Shakespeare's works in 200yrs.Will they write
all patents, too? :)

Sanity is madness put to good use.
-------------------------------------
I finally figured out the only reason to be alive is to enjoy it.
