No, absolutely not. "pattern" matches any <pattern> element. "//pattern"
matches any <pattern> element that is a descendant of the root node. All
elements are descendants of the root, so both match exactly the same
elements. If you want to match <pattern> elements that are at "level 1"
(ie. children of <doc>), write match="/*/pattern".
