One random detail that I have spotted is:
node.getTextContent().trim().isEmpty(). It's not very efficient if you
think about it. Something like StringUtil.isTrimmableToEmpty would be
better, only with String argument of course.

"?previous" and "?next" should just return null. But "@@previous" and
"@@next" should behave like the other "@@" keys, that is, with XPath
logic, which says that the result is an empty set of nodes. Again
similarly to other "@@" keys and XPath expression, they should work
correctly on node sets that contains 0 or multiple nodes.
