Subject: evaluation of != and ~=

This one took the better part of an afternoon from me, but I finally found the (unexpected) culprit.
In the xml documentation on page 31 it is said:
 The given expression between [] is converted to a LUA expression so you can use the use operators: == ~= <= >= < > not and or ()
In addition, = equals == and != is the same as ~=.

This is not true as the following demonstrates. The use of != is as expected but the ~= leads to an error and this should not be:

xml> lpath > error in expression: number(@atta) ~= 1 => expr.number((ll.at<http://ll.at> and ll.at<http://ll.at>['atta'])) ~== 1

Note the absence of output in the second \tex{xmlfilter}.
