The KindTest

Whereas a
NameTest
is designed to match nodes primarily by their name, a
KindTest
matches specific kinds of nodes. In the case of element and attribute nodes, it also allows matching against the type annotation attached to the node as a consequence of schema validation.

The syntax of a
KindTest
, copied from the XPath specification, is as follows:

Expression	Syntax
KindTest	DocumentTest\| ElementTest\| AttributeTest\| TextTest\| PITest\| CommentTest\| AnyKindTest
DocumentTest	document-node ( ElementTest? )
ElementTest	BasicElementTest \| SchemaElementTest
BasicElementTest	element ( ( ElementNameOrWildCard ( , TypeName ? ?)? )? )
