> "DOCUMENT ORDER:A traversal of the document tree from start > to end, in > written order. The ancestor and preceding axes use reverse > document order > and the attribute and namespace axes are unordered. If > parentheses are used > for grouping, you will always get forward document order." > > Can someone explain/give an example of "if parentheses are used ..." > ancestor::*[1] selects the immediate ancestor (the parent) (ancestor::*)[1] selects the ultimate ancestor (the document element) Incidentally, I got this wrong at http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/#d5e11213 and no-one has written to point it out - do I have to offer a prize to get you guys to spot my mistakes, or what?
