In terms of the grammar they are OtherTerms. Really ? According to the WD that I have (WD-xptr-19980303) the arguments of span() are both XPointers (from grammar - [15]) and both are interpreted relative to the SPAN's location (from text - S3.4 ) ie. they both have implicit origin()'s instead of root()'s. Note that the example given by Lars (& myself in a private email to Chris) are almost identical to the example given in that WD.
