Marcel Reutegger resolved JCR-2797.
-----------------------------------

    Resolution: Invalid

Just an axis is not sufficient. You always need a node test in addition to the 
axis. See PathExpr and RelativePathExpr of the XPath 2.0 specification.

> Xpath: pure descendant-or-self axis does not work

> A pure descendant-or-self axis "//" does not work, albeit it is defined in 
> JCR 1.0, section 6.6.4.6. Running this query
> /jcr:root/content//
> returns an error:
> Encountered "$" at line 1, column 38. Was expecting one of: "or" ... "and" 
> ... "div" ... "idiv" ... "mod" ... "*" ... "return" ... "to" ... "where" ... 
> "intersect" ... "union" ... "except" ... ... ... "/" ... "//" ... "=" ... 
> "is" ... "!=" ... "<=" ... "<<" ... ">=" ... ">>" ... "eq" ... "ne" ... "gt" 
> ... "ge" ... "lt" ... "le" ... "<" ... ">" ... "-" ... "+" ... "|" ... "[" 
> ... ... ... ... ... "," ... ... ... for statement: for $v in 
> /jcr:root/content// return $v
> It only works in combination with another location step, like 
> /jcr:root/content//* or /jcr:root/content//test. Tested this on a 2.2 
> snapshot, but I think it was actually never supported so far.
> The use case comes up when searching for a property in a subtree of a certain 
> node, where you want to include a property on that node directly as well, eg. 
> /jcr:root/content//[...@my:prop = 'value']
