I just went through all of the tests. I don't see anything similar to
this scenario.
Realize that I'm trying to insert this element as the first child of the
"web-app" element. Using the default of "under" results in the element
being inserted as the last child, not the first child.
The only way I can see this could work is if I somehow found the actual
current first child of "web-app" (I don't know for sure what it will
be), and then insert with position="before". I tried using the
following, but it didn't work:
"/*[local-name()='web-app']/child::node()[1]/."
