My query //element(*, Book)/* works fine in Stylus Studio XQuery, but not in the XPath Query Editor.

The documentation is mainly marketing and tutorials - is there anywhere that states definitively the extent of XPath 2.0 support in the XPath Query Editor?

I believe you are hitting a limitation of the current XPath evaluator; you can use and run that expression in the XQuery engine if you import the schema definition:
import schema default element namespace "" at "c:/books.xsd";
//element(*, Book)/*

It would be nice if the XPath editor implicitly did that for all the schemas used in the queried XML document, but it currently doesn't.

Thanks for confirming the expected behaviour.

Indeed, it would be great if the XPath Query Editor imported the schemas. But what is most important for now is that the behaviour is clearly documented.
