Error use of origin attribute in Appendix B.4

[John Boyer]

In [1], it seems the origin attributes need to have a preceding ../ in the expressions because they are evaluated relative to the result of the context attribute.

origin="../item[1]/@rating"

The other examples that use context and origin together look correct.

I agree, the example is erroneous.
