Syd's pattern is pretty good here. I'm not sure of the exact order of
operations for the position predicate here, so I'd be safe and do this:
(table//entry)[1]/*[self::title or self::para][1]

Subject: Re: [xsl] Pattern question: first child of first descendant
I am looking for a pattern that does "match the first title or para
child of the first entry descendant of a table element". I'm using
XSLT2.
There may well be something better, but I would probably have used:
table//entry[1]/*[self::title or self::para][1]
