Can I then infer that I should refactor this test expression
org_list/org_code[(_at_)type='APPR' and text()='ANSI']
to
org_list[org_code(_at_)type='APPR' and org_code='ANSI']
Thanks,

well it should be org_code/@type='APPR' or course not
org_code(_at_)type='APPR' but that isn't equivalent (in general) it searches
for org_code twice and it might return different nodes, ie the attribute
might not be on the child with value ANSI of course you may have a dtd
or schema that ensures there is only one org_code child in this
particular case.
You can do
org_list/org_code[(_at_)type='APPR' and .='ANSI']
using . rather than text()
