That's not what it does.  I'm not completely sure that XPath does
require this behavior, but I tend to believe this is the right thing to
do.  "//" is supposed to yield all descendant nodes, in this example the
second "span" (sure including this "span"'s descendant "a") and the "a"
node itself.

However the out-of-order result of "text()" nodes is odd.  I guess that
one is wrong.
