Description

The XPath parser seems to be too tolerant, in that it accepts expressions Jackrabbit is not designed to deal with, and silently treats them in some other way.

For instance "/a | /b" is accepted and processed as "/a/b".

(As mentioned on the mailing list, there may be other related issues such as unsupported function names that are accepted but shouldn't)
