This makes sense. In fact, other XPath functions (deref() and enum-value()) are 
also defined using "the first node in document order". This seems to be at odds 
with sec. 6.4 that says: "This means that XPath expressions in YANG modules 
SHOULD not rely on any specific document order." Is it OK that the result of 
such functions is undefined if the node-set argument contains multiple nodes?
