I always try and avoid ancestor and descendant - whenever I use them
my conscience tells me I'm being lazy, and makes me use a different
approach...

In this example there are many <a>'s to one <docBase>, so traversing
ancestor each time to retrieve the same value seems like a waste - if
there are 3 <a>'s, that means 3 trips up the same ancestor axis to get
the same value (I guess it probably gets optimized, but why rely on
that?) much better to store the value in a tunnelled parameter.
