RE: Comparing nodes in axis

Altought i have allready structures like this, some-axis[true], i can?t quite
comprehend it.

In this case, how such statement should be translated to plain english?

"Give me the ancestors that are menus of the current node if the current node
is
the same as the menu node at absolute position $pos"?

What i can't comprehend is the use of true/false. Suppose i have a expression
that has no term of comparation to the current node. How such a construct is
feasible?
