the spec, as it exists, only seems to specify how to select nodes. while it is true that matchers can reference properties and arguments, these are only ever used for filtering, and cannot be returned from the query. thus, i am proposing to remove this sentence as it is somewhat confusing. being able to select arguments and properties, similar to how xpath `@prop` works, would be nice, but it would require a new version of the spec with significantly more features.
