Re: debugging tools?

For the example you've posted, there's no compilation error with
<assert> XPath expression and the <assert> has returned true for the
XML instance document you've posted.

The <assert> you've cited seems to have a lengthy XPath expression.
Unless there's a strong reason to write such lengthy <assert> XPath
expressions, these should be refactored (for example, by breaking
these into multiple asserts) to have a reasonable logical complexity.
