I did think about it, but I didn't find any difficulties with simple
<x>...</x>. The thing is that regardless the element name we have
corresponding shift in XPath epression -- so, there cannot be any
problem from my point of view... But maybe I don't see something and
it's better to avoid _possible_ problem. It depends on PostgreSQL code
style itself -- what is the best approach in such cases? To avoid
unknown possible difficulties or to be clear?
