I don't think it is our responsibility to remedy the deficiencies of

If someone can come up with a correct scheme for handling fragments, I'm
all ears, but otherwise I think a) we should rip this out of 8.4 and b)
we should try to make 8.3 slightly less broken at least, along the lines
of my earlier suggestion.
I'm okay with removing this for 8.4, but I think it's too late to
change the behavior of 8.3.
It's never too late to fix a bug. The current behaviour is just plain
nonsense ... if your xpath expression is 'foo/bar' it ends up searching
for '/xfoo/bar' which can't possibly be right. Surely we can at least
fix that.
