This is the rub. If you know exactly what the structure is I can give you an
XPath expression to get anywhere by following the right axes. But what you
really want is an XPath expression that will find the right node for a whole
family of documents that are slightly different from each other, and one
that will continue to work when you change the format to something slightly
different. To get the right answer, you need to know the structure of the
documents, and I can't gues that from one example.
