<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

	<xsl:template match="/">
		<xsl:apply-templates
select="descendant::*[descendant-or-self::material[.='SiO2']][1]"
mode="x"/>
	</xsl:template>
	
	<xsl:template match="*" mode="x">
		<xsl:copy>
			<xsl:copy-of select="@*|text()" />
			<xsl:apply-templates
select="descendant::*[descendant-or-self::material[.='SiO2']][1]"
mode="x"/>
		</xsl:copy>
	</xsl:template>
	
</xsl:stylesheet>
