The following table shows the different XPathNodeType nodes, and the child nodes they can move to.

Current Node's XPathNodeType	Child Node's XPathNodeType
Root	Element, ProcessingInstruction, Comment, or Text.
Element	Element, ProcessingInstruction, Comment, or Text.
All other XPathNodeType values	None.
