The approach using keys is a good idea, but I don't think Andrew's key
definition actually captures the requirement as stated.

In 2.0 it's:

match="TABLE[every $d in .//* satisfies $d[self::ROW or self::CELL or
self::A]]"

which translates into the 1.0

match="TABLE[not(.//*[not(self::ROW or self::CELL or self::A)])]
