Yes. Though theoretically, the xpath intepreter should optimise the
expression and evaluate the right-hand side of the union operator only if
the left hand side is empty (like the "or" operator in Java "if"
statements). I don't know if this actually happens but it's an obvious and
probably rather easy optimisation to implement.

I tested the XPath expression in an XSLT stylesheet, but in the original
example Alfred was replacing the XPathDirectoryGenerator, which looks up an
XPath Component I believe ... if it turns out that the default xpath
implementation is sub-optimal (or even buggy) it could be worth putting the
effort in there. Alternatively, if it really is necessary to call back
another pipeline, what about using a generic transformer like the
XIncludeTransformer?
