I really donbt understand how your brain works.  How can you select from
among 1 node and expect to receive 2 nodes?

XPath 2.0, as other posters have noted, allows you to construct a new
node-set, which may involve multiple copies of what was a single node in
the source tree.

But to expect a node selection language like XPath 1.0 to select what
isnbt there...  As a now very old BITNET mailing listbs motto used to
say, bDo you often think there are two when there is only one?b
