Look at the descriptions of various axes (e.g. descendant, 
descendant-or-self, etc.); those descriptions will probably be not in the 
XSL spec, but in the XPath Recommendation at:
        http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath
The double-colon "::" is used to separate the axis designation from the 
node test portion of the XPath expression.

Does that help?
