the ancestor:: axis is (for some inexplicable reason) an optional feature of Xquery, so you may need to check if your processor supports it. The other way is to write a recursive function that goes _down_ skipping any elements that have ids, rather than using // to get to the bottom and then looking back up with ancestor:: something like (can't remember the xquery function definition syntax) function f ($items) for $i in $items[not(@id)] return if ($i instance of element() ) f($i/node()) else $i which if I got it right says accept a list of items and for all items that don't have an id, output the item if its a text node, or recurse on the children if its an element.
