Discussed with FXP and the spec (OGC 07-006) is inconsistent with the
ISO19139 XSD, and otherwise incomplete. According to the XSD, ElementName
is a QName, so cannot be an XPATH; but according to OGC 07-006 it must be
XPATH.. Also the spec is not clear about what to do with typeNames in all
situations.
Agreed with FXP that we
* allow for XPATH in !ElementName (even if this violates the XSD)
* handle typeNames as follows :
a) if !ElementName starts with "/", do a XPATH against the root of the
document -- typeNames is ignored in this case
b) if not, and there is one typeName, do a XPATH against the typeName, ie
//typeName/elementName
c) if not, and there are more than one typeName, do a XPATH against the
typeNames, ie //typeName1/elementName||//typeName2/elementName
