    ChildOrAttributeAxisSpecifier or has the form 
    processing-instruction(Literal) then the priority is 0.
  + If the pattern has the form NCName:* preceded by a 
    ChildOrAttributeAxisSpecifier, then the priority is -0.25
  + Otherwise if the pattern consists of just a NodeTest 
    preceded by a ChildOrAttributeAxisSpecifier then the
    priority is -0.5
  + Otherwise the priority is 0.5
