Hello,
This has me stumped.  I want to do something simple like this (I'll
keep it short as I think it's self-explanatory)....

<xsl:variable name="myvar" select="ancestor::(ElementA or ElementB)/foo/bar"/>

... where either ElementA or ElementB is selected, whichever is first.

Any ideas? I'm using XPath 2.0

Thanks!
