Using AttributeValueBObj path elements

The Path element in AttributeValueBObj references an element in the XML document. It uses an XPath expression to reference the element in the XML document.

In the example provided in Updating spec values, the simple penType element can be referenced as /penSpec/penType.

The more complex element that specifies the many dimensions of a pen can be referenced as /penSpec/penPhysicalDimensions.

If multiple pen descriptions are allowed by the spec, then a second pen description can be referenced as /penSpec/penDescription[2].

To index the first element, the value 1 is used. Indexing with the number 0, or a number greater than the maximum number of occurrences allowed by the internal schema results in an error.

Lastly, all of these pen descriptions can be referenced as /penSpec/penDescription.
