mozer:

Entering your zpath query into xpath window in XMLspy yields no results. Is 
this an Altova bug?

Mark,

//*[name() = 'a' or name() = 'c']

is the right syntax

Thanks, Colin,


Although the requirements cannot assume how many
levels there are between the root node and the desired node,
your solution points me to something like this. Does this
work?


//[name() == "a" and name() ==
"c"]

One possibility is:

//*[name() != "b"]

It depends on your exact requirements.
