New submission from patrick vrijlandt <patrick.vrijla...@gmail.com>:

>From http://effbot.org/zone/element-xpath.htm:

[position]      (New in 1.3) Selects all elements that are located at the given 
position. The position can be either an integer (1 is the first position), the 
expression “last()” (for the last position), or a position relative to last() 
(e.g. “last()-1” for the second to last position). This predicate must be 
preceeded by a tag name.

Testing shows, that [0] is accepted, and seems to be [last()]. 
However [-1] selects no elements. I think these expressions should raise an 
exception. (Or the feature should be 0-based and behave like python list 
indices)
