(`loc.p??` is always true - see XML Processing Guide)

(`loc.a??` is always true too)

Are you sure there are never multiple `p.a`-s?

(There was no #escape here BTW.)

Sorry, I don't really understand what you are saying, but if you just
want to print everything inside <location>...</location>, then use
${location.@@nested_markup}. (Inside #noescape if you are inside
#escape.)

Or, the contents of <location> should be CDATA, inside the XML. Now of
course it's up to the designers of the XML schema, and I don't know
what their design goals were.

Read the XML Processing Guide of you haven't. You can spare a lot of
time of yours with that.
