If an XPath expression refers to instances in 2 models the resulting xpath
expression result returns no nodes.

Attachment: Example of instances in 2 models and xpath that does not work

This test case has 2 models.  The instance in the first model does not work in
the xpath expression, but the same instance in the second model does work.

Re-read 7.11.1 and reaslised that the processor is 100% correct, however this
behavior differs from other processors such as formsplayer which allows for
xpath expressions using insatnce('') between models.

How _could_ you also doubt the correctness of this project? ;-)

Never had any doubts really just need to be aware that if anyone is ever
_upgrading_ from formsplayer they will have issues if they expect the xpath
functions to work.
Otherwise I know the project is bug free and feature rich :-)
