<xsl:for-each select="//*"> <xsl:sort select="count(ancestor-or-self::*)" data-type="number"/> <xsl:if test="position()=last()"> <xsl:value-of select="count(ancestor-or-self::*)"/> </xsl:if> </xsl:for-each> Or in 2.0: max(for $n in //* return count($n/ancestor-or-self::*)) You can possibly speed it up a little by excluding non-leaf elements, or by using a recursive template that supplies the depth of a node as a parameter, avoiding the need to count ancestors of every node.
