Re: finding lowest level in ancestor:: axis

The variable was not getting a node-set with the original syntax. 
was so:-)

When I  switched the design to use the choose statement, this resulted in a 
No to use an xsl:choose you must have used xsl:variable with xsl:choose
as content rather than a select expression. Such an xsl:variable never
generates a node set in xslt1: it generates a result tree fragment (which
would generate an error if passed to generate-id, or any other function
expecting a node set).

So based  upon that I would say the original design returned something
like I expected but in the reverse order of what I expected,
No, it returned a node set, and sets do not have an order (that's why
they are called sets not lists or sequences)
