Re: How can I always match the immediate ancestral el

You can find the first <anchor> inside the immediate ancestral
<section> element with:

  ancestor::section[1]/descendant::anchor[1]

You can test whether that <anchor> element is the same as the current
<anchor> element with:

  generate-id(current()) =
  generate-id(ancestor::section[1]/descendant::anchor[1])

Cheers,
