You actually want an ancestor rather than a parent.
Specifically, you want ancestor::*[last()-1]

Subject: [xsl] Traversing to a parent node...
Hello,
I need help traversing to a specifi parent node. The result
should always be the same parent node no matter where you are
at in the document. Let me
illustrate:
<AAA>
<BBB>
<S/>
<T/>
</U>
</BBB>
<X/>
<Y>
<1/>
<2/>
<3/>
<Z/>
<CCC>
<MY>
<DOG/>
<AND/>
<CAT/>
</MY
</CCC>
<DDD>
</DDD>
</AAA>
These specific parent nodes would always resolve to the node
1 below the document element, so <BBB> or <CCC> or <DDD>.
How is this possible?
Thanks, Karl
