> if so, is one any better/faster than the other?, or are they completely > different somehow? they are different. ancestor::ns:article[1] finds the nearest ancestor ns:article ancestor::ns:*[1][self::article] finds the nearest ancestor ns:* element if it is an article, and nothing otherwise. so if you have <ns:article> <sadjfg> <ns:wibble> <lkjgh> <ns:id> the ns:id element matches ns:id[ancestor::ns:article[1]] but not ns:id[ancestor::ns:*[1][self::article]] I understood from your description that you wanted the form that I gave, but if you actually wanted the form that you gave, then use that instead:-) If that is the form you wanted, then possibly you may also be happy with the much simpler form match="ns:root//ns:article//ns:id" which in some edge cases left as an excercise to the reader isn't equivalent to either of the forms above, but may well address your real use case.
