sum(//puntuacion_valor)

That will sum the value of every puntuacion_valor node, including the ones
that are not children of the puntuaciones node. While it may work because
the document happens to have only one puntuaciones node and no other node
has children named puntuacion_valor, it will cause trouble if either of
those conditions is not true. Also // is inefficient (as it looks at every
node in the document). I would use

sum(puntuaciones/puntuacion_valor)
