I submit that this is a basic nature of modelling a hierarchical structure
as XML. XPath is defined as a set of EBNF productions, hence can be modelled
as an XSet expansion (similarly to the way an XML document can be 'expanded'
as a serialized PSVI). The XML structure you see is derived from the
underlying EBNF.
