No!!!

Well, maybe if you use this buggy MSXML, but certainly not in good, 
standard XPath 1.0

XPath 1.0 spec, 3.4 Booleans:
  "If one object to be compared is a node-set and the other is a number, 
then the comparison will be true if and only if there is a node in the 
node-set such that the result of performing the comparison on the number to 
be compared and on the result of converting the string-value of that node 
to a number using the number function is true."

RecrutDiscard is a relative location path whose value is a node-set. Here, 
the node-set contains a single node but it's, however, a node-set.
