Thanks for the response. Are you sure that's correct or am I goofing

No, that won't work. You need to look at all your ancestors, then find
the closest one that matches your pattern:
ancestor::*[name() = 'A' or name() = 'B'][1]
Using name() = 'A' is not namespace safe and self::A should be preferred
in such situations :
ancestor::*[self::ElementA | self::ElementB][1]
Also note that the order of the ancestor axis can be misleading since
you'll get the first one starting from the context node going toward the
document root.
