Priority +0.5 is used for everything else: typically, but not exclusively, when the pattern includes filters or constraints on the node's ancestory.

A rule I find easy to remember is that a pattern has the highest default priority (0.5) if and only if it contains a "/", "//", or "[..]"

Hm. So does it have the lowest if and only if it doesn't have any of these, or ":" (indicating a namespace prefix), but it does have "*" or "()"? (indicating a wildcard or kind test?)

Cheers,
Wendell
