If I have something like this:

How would I write my match for my <xsl:template> for the <inside> node so
that that template would only match if outside's myprop was equal to '123'
(and another template might match only '234' for example. I want there to
be any number of nested levels between the <outside> and <inside> tags. I
tried using ancestor() but I must have messed something up because it said
ancestor didn't exist.

<xsl:template match="outside[(_at_)myprop='123']//inside">
or
<xsl:template match="inside[ancestor::outside[(_at_)myprop='123']]">

PS. And ancestor() reminds me something ancient :)
