Now, I can do this if I select the sumStat matching my
criteria and then its
parent, something like
select="fullPathToSumStat/sumStat[(_at_)type='vald'][.
> 4]/parent::*" (untested)
but is there some way to do this avoiding using an axis?
You can't do anything in XPath without using an axis, but you can avoid
going down and then back up:
fullPathToSumStat[sumStat[(_at_)type='vald'][. > 4]]
This expression uses the child axis twice, the attribute axis once, and
the self axis once.
