Thanks Wendell ......

Almost there ..... however, I want to constraint the selection a bit more,
look
at a more descriptive tree.  I want to select the position within each
"parent"
subtree.  In other words "child3" is number 5 within the first "parent"
subtree
but it will be number 6 at the second "parent" subtree.

<parent>
  <child1>
  </child1>
  <child2>
     <child2-1>
          <child2-1-1>
          </child2-1-1>
     </child2-1>
  </child2>
  <child3>
      <child3-1>
      </child3-1>
  </child3>
  <child4>
  </child4>
</parent>

<parent>

  <child1>
  </child1>
  <child2>
     <child2-1>
          <child2-1-1>
             <child2-1-1-1>
             </child2-1-1-1>
          </child2-1-1>
     </child2-1>
  </child2>
  <child3>
      <child3-1>
      </child3-1>
  </child3>
  <child4>
  </child4>
</parent>

Thanks,
Carmelo
