This is easy, but might not be a very good solution.
Random thoughts/Points to consider:
It does help the novice in debugging his expressions.
A peculiarity of this implementation is documented.
As others have stated, the whole elementpath documentation within the python
docs is incomplete. Should we document the exception but not the rule?
It makes no real sense to do a an absolute search from an element. However,
it's not ambiguous.
lxml does accept the absolute path search from an element.
Actually, I think it's up to Fredrik to decide.

Are you requesting that the doc be changed or the code?
From the title, I would infer the doc (which is much easier ;-).
If so, can you suggest an actual revised text?
