> (//*)[position()=1]/@on-loan it's quite common to use (//*) which is a short form of descendent::* as opposed to //* which is descendent-or-self::node()/* as given it selects th on-loan attribute from the first element in the document. without the parens it would select the on-loan attribute from every element that was the first element child of its parent.
