After reading the quoted thread and thinking some more, I think the
text in 9.9 is in fact correct. As Lada wrote in that thread:
2. It [path] also implicitly refers to a leaf node in the schema
[...]
The problem is that this "implicit reference" isn't defined. 9.9
talks about reference to a schema node, and 9.9.2 talks about the data
tree, but there is no text that ties these together.
