Sure. From the OP I couldn't get a firm impression if he wanted to have the root node matched by a match pattern -- he never used this term -- or selected by any XPath expression. Therefore I tried to answer both questions. I gave ancestor::node as an example of an XPath expression that matches the root node, not as an example of a match pattern. Probably we need a more strict terminology in order to distinguish between these two important cases. It is good to have such questions that help emphasize the difference between XPath expressions and match patterns. Cheers, Dimitre Novatchev
