This is going to solve all my probs.
BTW I find the dom4j notion of context a bit confusing. Usually one refers
to "context" when he means that there is nothing outside it, so the root
of the context becomes the only root visible.

I was thinking that the function was evaluated on
<person>
<name>Jack</name>
<age>23</age>
</person>
I was wrong :)
What about examples and counter examples in XPath documentation?
