I know this is more of an XPATH question rather than an XSLT one, but

I want to select all <var> which contain a <sumStat> with a "vald" type whose sumStat value is >4. So, in the following example, I only want to select the first <var>

<var>
	<sumStat type="vald">5</sumStat>
	<sumStat type="min">3</sumStat>
</var>
<var>
	<sumStat type="vald">3</sumStat>
	<sumStat type="min">1</sumStat>
</var>
<var>
	<sumStat>5</sumStat>
</var>

Now, I can do this if I select the sumStat matching my criteria and then its parent, something like select="fullPathToSumStat/sumStat[@type='vald'][. > 4]/parent::*" (untested)

but is there some way to do this avoiding using an axis?
