I don't quite understand what you are trying to markup?
What's the semantics? Multiple titles, multiple authors?
>

A very usefull query in something like:
<rec>
<item>
<author>C. J. Cherryh</author>
<title>Brother at Arms</title>
</item>
<item>
<author>Terry Pratchett</author>
<title>Small Gods</title>
<item>
</rec>
But it it not really the search for Cherrh as author and book title
"Brothers at Arms" in the same rec\item instance?
author=Cherryh AND:rec\item title="Brother at Arms"
which I get as op you'd do prox/unit=item/distance=0
(assuming that item only appears in the path <rec><item>)
I must admit.. given something like:
<rec>
<author>C. J. Cherryh</author>
<title>Brother at Arms</title>
<author>Terry Pratchett</author>
<title>Small Gods</title>
</rec>
I could not do what you want..
Pragmatics would drive me to filter your input and add some tags
like <item> as above to allow me to get the answers you want but...
So by element what's the metric? Is each opening <tag> a count of an element
or each opening and closing? Or?
<tag1> Word1 <tag2> <tag3> word2</tag3></tag2></tag1>
How far is Word1 from word2 ?
And here?
<tag1>word1</tag1><tag2></tag2><tag3>word2</tag3>
