Select nodes on a relative location path starting at the context node.
A RelativeLocationPath consists of a sequence of one or
more location steps (Step) separated by one of the path operators
/ or //. The operator / selects the
child nodes of the context node, while // selects all descendant
nodes of the context node, since it is an abbreviation for the full XPath
expression descendant-or-self::node().
It corresponds to the expression RelativeLocationPath
defined in XPath,
Section
2.4, Rule 3.
