MOXy @XmlPath expressions, are they supported?

Are XPath expressions such as the following in MOXy?

field[XMLtag!='identifier']

In principle, I have such XML

<demographics>
  <field>
    <value>12345</value>
    <XMLtag>identifier</XMLtag>
  </field>
  <field>
    <value>somename</value>
    <XMLtag>name</XMLtag>
  </field>
</demographics>

I try to get a list to populate, but exclude the field, which is for the identifier.

This will work, but gives me all the elements of field (2) in List(correctly)

@XmlElement( name = "field" )
public List<Field2> fieldList;

It won't be, I get empty List

@XmlPath( "field[XMLtag!='identifier']" )
public List<Field2> fieldList;

Should the above work, or expressions that are not supported by MOXy? I can not find information about them.

I did not include my Field2 class, as it is very simple and obviously works fine, since I can expand the list using annotation @XmlElement. Let me know if you want to see it.
