When I say farthest away I mean the node that has the most nodes between
itself and the context node in a straight line (not counting siblings).
.//node[(_at_)a = 'avalue' and max(count(ancestor::*))]/@id
I know that isn't a valid expression but I hope you know what I mean
Example:
<nodes>
<node a="1" id="1"/>
<node a="2" id="2">
<node a="1" id="3">
<node a="1" id="3.1"/>
</node>
<node a="1" id="4"/>
</node>
<node a="2" id="5">
<node a="1" id="6">
<node a="1" id="7"/>
</node>
</node>
</nodes>
Say that a node must have @a=1 to be selectable.
In this example the nodes with @id=3.1 and @id=7 are furthest away from
<nodes> and have a distance of 3. @id=3, @id=4, @id=6 have a distance of
2 and so on.
