hi all,

i need to name a kind of path that is produced from a given node :
-it starts from the root
-it descends from child to child until the node
-it only allow predicates with an index, such as [n]

examples :
/foo/bar[2]/oof[5]/@rab
/foo/bar[2]/oof[5]/text()[2]

is there a name or should i invent one ?

candidates :
-"natural path"
-"absolute path"
-"canonical path"
-"basic path"

other ?
