Indention might help:
<data>
<slask>
<value-of/>
</slask>
</data>
If you use just 'value-of[...]' as your expression, it will not match,
because <data> does not have a child <value-of> element. It does have
a <slask> though.
So, if you want to avoid the // notation:
selectNodes("slask/value-of[...]");
