> Although the method names refer to ancestors they operate on sub-paths. Consider:
> PathFactory pf = PathFactoryImpl.getInstance();
> Path.Element p = pf.getParentElement();
> Path path = pf.create(new Path.Element[]{p, p});
> Path ancestor = path.getAncestor(1);
> assertFalse(ancestor.isAncestorOf(path) )  
> This is not what one would expect from looking an the method signatures. 
> I suggest to rename getAncestor to getSubPath, clarify the javadoc, and deprecate getAncestorCount. 
> A patch follows.
