    </TreeNode>
   </TreeNodeList>

</LeftNavTree>

There could be more than one LeftNavTree, so
originally I was using this xpath: 
//p:LeftNavTree/p:LeftNavParamList/p:SelectedNode

But it's concatonating the values of SelectedNode
from
both LeftNavTree's. I need an xpath expression that
will grab "the SelectedNode element which is a
descendent of the ancestor LeftNavTree element for
the
current node".

Make sense? Hopefully :-)

I figured it out, if anybody cares:

<xsl:value-of
select="ancestor::p:LeftNavTree/p:LeftNavParamList/p:SelectedNod"/>
