OK, start by using the latest version, OK?

It's much better expressed in the latest version. For instance:
"The value a can be negative, but only the positive values of an+b, for
n≥0, may represent an element in the document tree."
"html|tr:nth-child(-n+6) represents the 6 first rows of XHTML tables"
"When the value b is negative, the "+" character in the expression must
be removed (it is effectively replaced by the "-" character indicating
the negative value of b)."
":nth-child(10n-1) represents the 9th, 19th, 29th, etc, element
:nth-child(10n+9) (same)
:nth-child(10n+-1) (Syntactically invalid, and would be ignored)"
Based on this, I'll review your latest parseNth today ;-)
