Re:  Find First Descendants That Match Predicate?
Thanks--setting the $here variable was the trick I was failing to see.

Cheers,

    (I moved /chapter to the end?)

    and

    <xsl:stylesheet version="3.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">


     <xsl:template match="chapter">

     <xsl:message select="
    let $here:=. return
    .//section[empty(ancestor::*[title] except
    $here/ancestor-or-self::*[title])]/title
    "/>

     </xsl:template>

    </xsl:stylesheet>


    the xpath in the message produces

    <title>S1</title><title>S2</title>
