Except that you should steer clear of using name(). Try <xsl:value-of select="ancestor::*[self::ElementA|self::ElementB][1]"/> Just tested it with Saxon 8.4. Bear in mind that "first" is relative to the axis in question. For the ancestor axis, that gets the first one relative to the current node and walking up the ancestor nodes. Thus, it may very well be the last actual value in the sequence, from the perspective of document order.
