Yes. All of the expressions have a form such as:
//p:pages/p:page[ xml:id="main"]/p:*[9]/p:*[1]/p:*

(I execute an xpath, and then recurse with a deeper xpath. I know this 
isn't the most efficient way of running through a DOM, but I'm 
delivering the nodes to a language binding which doesn't understand 
pointers and just starts new xpaths with an ever deeper path)

All expressions start with //p:pages/p:page[ xml:id="main"], followed by 
one or more /p:*[xxx] and finally a /p:* expression. I can put .26 back 
in and grab a few more failing expressions, but they all boil down to 
that basic form.
