Except, of course, when it's part of a .// -- the crucial difference
between these cases being much less subtle than it may seem. I think the
fact that the difference between //node() and .//node() is so
consequential, trips some new users into thinking node() and ./node() might
be different, and they'd better "be safe" and say the latter. But the
analogy is false, as a little research into XPath syntax and abbreviations
will show.
