Nested square brackets are rarely necessary (as David of course knows), though quite useful in this explanatory example:

text()[ancestor::label/@title='xxx'] will work as well, as will (as someone else noted) label[@title='xxx']//text(). In theory, there shouldn't be a difference in speed of the implementations of one or the other, but I'm not sure how true that is in practice.
