But, below is the use of the test:

<xsl:when test="ancestor::choice/ancestor::define">

I hope this helps.
Yes Ken. perfect.
I wonder why I always interpret / as being 'down-tree' :-) as apposed
to your use, where it continues in the ancestor axis?

It is not uncommon for my students when they first show up in my class and have been using XPath beforehand ... I then get them to think of "/" as "take a step" and that step can be taken in any direction (axis) including "up the tree".
