What if I want to get the closest of some possible (specific) subset of
ancestors? eg (this is Docbook, let us say the current node is an <xref>
in a <para> at some depth within one of the following):
just put ( )[last()] around teh union that you ststed.
XPath returns the remotest node (the earliest in document order)
The Xpath as written selects all teh ancestors of that type, not just
the first.
