The trouble with that is that it selects every flower node
whose type attribute does not contain 'tulip on the entire
axis. If there's more than one non-tulip flower node up
the ancestor axis, this expression will get all of them,
which will either generate errors or lead to unexpected
results. It needs the position predicate ([1]) to get the
first ancestor node (which is the most immediate node on
the axis).
So, it needs to be
ancestor::flower[1]/@type
If I understand right the requirment, you mean:
ancestor::flower[(_at_)type!='tulip'][1]
dont'you?
