Re: [xsl] How to select an attribute on the current node or its anchesto

and I guess to fetch the text() of the current node or its ancestor I
would have to use:
ancestor-or-self::*[text/text()][1]/text()

This however does return an empty node for this xml:
<phrase id="goodbye">
    <text xml:lang="en">See you tomorrow!</text>

    <text weight="dayOfWeek"
          days="fri">
      <text xml:lang="en">Have a nice weekend!</text>
      <text id="weekend_summer"
            weight="month"
            months="4,5,6,7,8,9,10">
        <text alt="garden" icon="data:binary;..."/>
        <text alt="boat" icon="data:binary;..."/>
      </text>
    </text>
  </phrase>

and

ancestor-or-self::*[text/text()][1]/text does return the text node.
But I would like to select the text() in one select.

I tried
//*[@id='weekend_summer']/ancestor-or-self::*[text/text()][1]/text
which returns
<text xml:lang="en">Have a nice weekend!</text>

But i would like to fetch the text() node directly.

Thanks all for your help!
