The first one is a boolean expression which is true if any element
of the node set ../TYPE has value  considered equal to one.
(ie equal to the number 1 after the specified coercions between
text values and numbers take place)/

../TYPE[.=1] is the nodeset of those TYPE elements that have value equal
to one, and as it's used in a boolean context, it will be considered
true if the nodeset is non empty.

By my reckoning, these are equivalent, aren't they?
