Iterating over all the Ancestors

xslt ancestors
All,

I have been trying to figure out a way of iterating over the parent nodes of a particular child all the way to the root of the tree. Essentially, I'd like to display the path which I have taken to get to the current child, but I would like to do it in such a way that at a future point in time, I can modify my style sheet to include hyperlinks at each parent node. An example xml file would be:

<data><text>Title for web page</text>
   <data><text>Motivation</text>
       <data><text>White Pages</text></data>
       <data><text>References</text></data>
   </data>
   <data><text>Requirements</text>
       <data><text>Software</text></data>
       <data><text>Hardware</text></data>
   </data>
   <data><text>Design</text>
       <data><text>Interfaces</text>
           <data><text>Hardware-Software</text></data>
           <data><text>Legacy Software</text></data>
       </data>
       <data><text>Functions</text></data>
   </data>
   <data><text>Implementation</text></data>
   <data><text>Verification</text></data>
   <data><text>Documentation</text></data>
   <data><text>Archive</text></data>
</data>

Suppose that we are at the following X-Path:
   /<root data>/<Design data>/<Interfaces data>/<Hardware-Software data>

I would like to develop a template that essentially displays the path above in the following way:

Title for web page -> Design -> Interfaces -> Hardware-Software

At each point, if I added a <href> node within the xml tree as a child of the <data> element, then I would like to be able to hyperlink each individual node...

Thanks!
Bix
