In my XSL to get sections 'a' and 'b' I would have thought 
something like:

/data/stuff/(a|b)

would work but the only thing I can get to work is:

/data/stuff/a|/data/stuff/b

which just seems too long winded for there not to be a better way to 
express it.


It may be the best way.
I believe in XPath 2.0 you could say /data/stuff/(a|b), but in XPath 1.0
the best ways I can think of would be
  /data/stuff/a | /data/stuff/b
or
  /data/stuff/*[self::a | self::b]
