You refer to 4.2.2 where there's an xpath-expression in a sample
Request, right? My vote would be to simply change that into a string. It
won't affect the value of the example, and will make things clearer
overall (since it would have to be a string to be used by the XPath
functions, the only mechanism available in the core specification). If
we like, we can add a comment explaining that had the value been of type
xpath-expression then it could be handled specially, as defined in a
separate profile.
