Anatomy of a Location Step

child:: list [count(descendent::item) > 8]

Each location step has at least two parts (may have three)

1. An axis ( child:: )
   • Where are you going (in relation to the evaluation context)?
2. A node test (the name of an element “ list ”)
   • What kind of node do you want?
3. Zero or more predicates [count(descendent::item) > 8]
   • What other conditions must be true of these nodes?

Location Step = axis:: + nodetest + [predicate]*
