> <xsl:variable name="x" select="ancestor::x"/> > <xsl:value-of select="$x[1]/@n"/> > What is the expected result? Is it "1" or "2"? I think this is pretty clear. The ancestor:: axis is a reverse axis (the first ancestor of a node is its parent), therefore the expected answer is 2. The axis used to select a node set is irrelvant, if you filter a node set with [1] (which isn't the same as using the predicate [1] in a step) Then the node set is sorted into document order and the 1st node is taken. If you expect 2 then the expected answer is 2, but nevertheless you'll get 1.
