RE: What's wrong with my ancestor syntax?

> I think you want to know...

Hmm...I don't think I fully explained what I was looking for very well.
;o)

We store out entire site structure in XML. We want to make an RSS feed
that will return the most recently updated pages that fall underneath a
specific node of the menu.

So, if my structure was:

Home
About
 - staff
 - - mary
 - - bob
Contact
Downloads

I want to be able to say "grab the recently updated pages in the 'staff'
section" so I only want to grab staff, mary, and bob, and then sort them
by date.
