I don't think that's *quite* what is being said.

node() will match any type of node.

node() by itself is child::node(). It is the child:: that is imposing
restrictions on what nodes are in the set for matching. ancestor::node()
would pick up the root node. Similarly, attribute::node() would pick up
attributes of the context node.
