Actually the quote is wrong (DAVEP:-) the attribute and namespace are both forwards axes. What Dave means about paremthesese is ancestor::*[1] gives you the first ancestor in reverse document order ie your parent whereas (ancestor::*)[1] gives you your first ancestor in document order, ie your most ancient ancestor; Adam (or Eve) in some cultures.
