Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to select the final instance of "DDD" in the following example, but since the predicate refers to the element's relative position to its neighbors, I am having trouble formulating an xpath which would take the last position with respect to the root of the document.

Can someone shed light on this (possibly simple) question?  Thanks in advance.
