I am trying to find the deepest, last element in an xml file. When I use
this xpath 1.0 statement:
//*[last()]

it returns all nine of the last elements.

You can select

(//*[not(*)])[last()]

to find the last leaf element not having any children (which in your sample would be the <p>4</p> element).

Does that suffice?

Or do you want to count the ancestor nodes and determine elements with most ancestors?
