Description

This bug #6473 reported against Saxon (2024-07-07), is also a bug in SaxonJS:

The expression /[x,y] is apparently legal in XPath 3.1 -- it should be interpreted as the path / (selecting the root node) followed by an array constructor evaluated with that root node as the context item. (One might imagine an alternative interpretation in which [x,y] is interpreted as a predicate filter, but that doesn't parse.)

Saxon rejects this expression with a syntax error.

The expression /map{a:2} also appears to be legal, and is also rejected by Saxon.

The new QT3 tests in prod-PathExpr added for this bug (PathExpr-17 PathExpr-18 PathExpr-19) fail with SaxonJS.
