I was not clear. And I should have posted some xml, so here it is:
<text>
<line id="1" s_len="2.8">
<word id="1">Thou</word>
<word id="2">still</word>
<word id="3">unravish'd</word>
<word id="4">bride</word>
<word id="5">of</word>
<word id="6">quietness</word>,
</line>
<clause id="2" s_len="2.4">
<word id="7">The</word>
<word id="8">quick</word>-
<word id="9">brown</word>
<word id="10">fox</word>
<word id="11">jumped</word>
<word id="12">over</word>
<word id="13">lazy</word>
<word id="14">dog</word>,
</clause>
</text>
I want a the xpath which would work in a template match to get the parent node
of <word>, no matter what it is, whose @s_len attribute is less than 2.5
seconds.
The template will then compose an element for output, using the tagname of that
parent of <word> which met that condition.
This works:
<xsl:template match="clause[(_at_)s_len<2.5] | line[(_at_)s_len<2.5]">
<xsl:element name="{name()}">
<xsl:attribute name="id"><xsl:value-of select="@id" /></xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
But it presumes that I know that the parent of <word> is either a node named
<clause> or <line>. I am trying to generalize even further and not make that
assumption in the match condition.
As I said, I cannot seem to use any axis or axis-like expression, so matches
like the following give an error in Altova Spy:
match="word/parent::*[(_at_)s_len<2.5]"
match="word/../*[(_at_)s_len<2.5]"
I have tried your suggestions and no node is returned, but I think I was not
clear in what I needed.

Experimenting with it lead me to a follow-up question.
Altova is complaining about any axis or axis-like syntax in my match
statement. I have also tried word/parent::**[(_at_)s_len<0] and various
others. My idea is to get any node the parent of <word> with that
condition of its attribute.
I was recently surprised to be reminded that match pattern steps are
restricted in their syntax. Assuming that the double-asterisk was just
a typo in your e-mail, try *[word and @s_len < 0] instead.
