[jdom-interest] Question about selecting nodes with XPath

[Paul Libbrecht]

You might be encountering the same bugs as I did, namely, that of //elt 
seems not to select the child... I think it's a bug of Jaxen. It happens 
with both plain Jaxen and JDOM wrapper for it to me. Changing the path 
to .//elt worked for me though.

hope that helps.
