The documentation on fields states "If a field has two or more elements with 
different weights and, if one of those elements is a child of another element, 
then the weight of the parent element is used and the weight of the child 
element is ignored." But it's not clear what happens when an ancestor and 
descendant have weights and the direct parent of the descendant is excluded. 
For example, say I have a document:

<X>
  <A>
    <B>
      <C>

Document root is excluded, <A> is included with weight=1, <B> is excluded, and 
<C> is included with weight=2. Will a field match for a term in <C> be weighted 
with 1 or with 2? Is it possible to check how indexed weights contribute to 
scores to confirm that a configuration like this is working as intended?
