In my XSL to get sections 'a' and 'b' I would have thought something like:

/data/stuff/(a|b)

This will be legal in XPath 2.0, but is not legal in XPath 1.0


would work but the only thing I can get to work is:

/data/stuff/a|/data/stuff/b

In XPath 1.0, the only place the union ( | ) operator is legal is at the top level, as you have discovered.


which just seems too long winded for there not to be a better way to express it.
