It uses the containing element.  I built a little ContextStack class
that keeps track of this.  (It's not a problem for attributes, so that
filter doesn't use it.)

There's a second example, test2.xml, which is included in the zip but
not listed in the documentation.  I tried the filter on a small
collection of random XML documents as well.

Looks like documentation needs to improve for 0.02.
