XPointer question

I'm having trouble getting my head around the XPointer spec, so I'm hoping
someone on the list can help. If I have the following people.xml:
<people>
<person name="John">
<phone>(555)555-1212</phone>
<phone>(555)555-1212</phone>
</person>
<person name="David">
<phone>(555)555-1212</phone>
</person>
<person name="Andrea">
<phone>(555)555-1212</phone>
<phone>(555)555-1212</phone>
<phone>(555)555-1212</phone>
</person>
<person name="Ify">
<phone>(555)555-1212</phone>
<phone>(555)555-1212</phone>
</person>
<!--more people could follow-->
</people>
What will the following XPointer return:
people.xml#xpointer(//person to phone[1])
?
I'm thinking, from my reading of the spec, that it will return
<person name="John">
<phone>(555)555-1212</phone>
<person name="David">
<phone>(555)555-1212</phone>
<!--etc.-->
Or, if I'm wrong, it might return
<person name="John">
<phone>(555)555-1212</phone>
</person>
<person name="David">
<phone>(555)555-1212</phone>
</person>
<!--etc.-->
Or, I could be way out to lunch. Can anyone shed some light on this?
