Wendell pointed out, I want to go up the tree if there is no child
<answers />. I tried his syntax, however I'm not sure how to make it
choose a child answer's node before it goes looking for the closest

Try ancestor-or-self::*[answers][1]/answers.

This is the kind of thing where a little bit of formal instruction or
exposure can really help. :-)
