RE: Finding parent of the middle child

Actually, it's version="1.0"

(//rec_gear_sec/*)[$gearMid] is returning the very first child, even
though $gearMid returns 34. I wasn't even sure if that syntax would be
allowed in 1.0.

Quick pointer. version="2.0", right?

What you're looking for is:

(//rec_gear_sec/*)[$gearMid]

I also, against my better judgement, found it tempting to disbelieve the
spec about dynamic context sometimes until I realized how easy it is to
manipulate sequences.
