I've not encountered XPath 2 usage and that is certainly better but

a) it's still an absolute path
b) Just for the  sake of argument I'll assume  that it mitigates the
problem - is it  practicable to expect or enforce that style of usage.
 Is it typical of XMLUnit code you expect to get written. Is it ever
likely to be.

c) It doesn't matter in Schematron whether you are using Xpath 1 or 2.
