[Boisvert, Eric]

I missed the " 't ", which totally change the meaning of the sentence
 
you can't specify a subtype.

The '*' trick only work if the server respect the schema (and it should) and it only works for head of substitution, you can specify a subtype.

For example.  in a given xpath

a/B/c/D

and if we look the server response as a big XML document

if B is the head of subsitution of a complex tree that has M and N as direct child and M has two childs Z and P

   B
 N   M
    Z  P

in a/*/c/D, the * can only match all substitution of B  and you can't specify you just want M and its descendants.
You must then explicitly provide a list of all elements [M|Z|P]

So you are right, '*' is only a partial solution.

And answering my own question: no.
"*" matches only one element.

But it would be nice to specify only some subtree of types ...
