| I get a node list of A elements, as I'd expect. However, if I use:
| 
| (select-elements                    
|   (descendants locsrc)                 
|   '( "a" ("NAME" namevalue)))

I've noticed that variable values don't get expanded in quoted lists.
Try

  (list "a" (list "NAME" namevalue))

I'll leave it up to a better schemer to detail the differences
between those two forms.
