This will match the first title or para child of a first entry 
descendant of a table, but if you have

<entry>
  <label/>
  <title/>
  <para/>
</entry>

the title will be matched.

I think the spec needs a bit of clarification. :-) In this case, 
should either or both the title and para match?

BTW, my first try missed the [1] on ancestor::table[1]. (I guess I 
decided to assume no nested tables.)

Cheers,
Wendell
