Try this:
select="//inlineequation[not (ancestor::* = table)]"
The single quotation marks ('') make the XSL processor look for a string
literal, when you want it to look for an element.
true but ancestor::* = table makes it test the string value of every
ancestor with the string value of its table child, which isn't what was
wanted.
