RE: Error 80004005 eof - Microsoft XML Parser (September Dro

Wendell,

> Could you point to the loophole? 

The loophole exists in the XPath BNF:

[4] Step ::= AxisSpecifier NodeTest Predicate* | AbbreviatedStep

[12] AbbreviatedStep ::= '.' | '..'

The AbbreviatedStep may not have a predicate after it, unlike a regular
NodeTest Step.  I can't think of a reason why this shouldn't be allowed, so
I assume it was an oversight by the W3C committee.  Maybe it will be fixed
in Errata or in a future version of XPath.
