Suppose I wanted to stop at a given node or after a certain number of
ancestors. What would I do to tweak your original solution?
It depends on your criteria. It can get a bit tricky since this is a
reverse axis, so e.g. select="ancestor-or-self::*[position < last()]
gets all but the document element (the last of the ancestor elements going up).
select="ancestor::*[position <= 3] gets your first three ancestors (but
not your context node).
Cheers,
