[New-bugs-announce] [issue31648] Improve ElementPath

[Stefan Behnel]

New submission from Stefan Behnel <stefan_ml at behnel.de>:

* Allow whitespace around predicate parts, i.e. "[a = 'text']" instead of requiring the less readable "[a='text']".

* Add support for text comparison of the current node, like "[.='text']".

Both currently raise "invalid path" exceptions. PR coming.
