Another inaccuracy in the definition of "//" as identical to descendant::* is that "//@*" catches attributes, while descendant::* does not (and descendant::@* is a syntax error). Fortunately this distinction doesn't matter in the case of reaching after the first descendant x element.

What you gain somewhere, you loose it elsewhere. For example in the simple "definition" of "//" (something like "it is identical to descendant::").
Ah, but that definition is inaccurate, which is why the difficulty arises to begin with.
