Re: [xsl] XPath for parent nodes, but excluding their children

Well, you could certainly do this with XQuery, which uses XPath and
is not XSLT. But I, for one, don't know of any way to ask an
<xi:include> to grab a node w/o its descendants.

I need some help with an XPath issue (this is for an xi:include in
an XML doc, I am not using XLST to transform the XML, so I'm not
sure if this is even possible). I want to retrieve all the parent
nodes, but not any of the chilren nodes:
Example:
<root>
    <parent1>
        <child>
        </child>
    </parent1>
    <parent2>
        <child>  [sic]
        <child>  [sic]
    </parent2>
</root>
I want to get some xpath to grab just the parent nodes:
Xpath to retrieve:
<parent1/>
<parent2/>
Does anyone know how to do this with XPath w/o using XSLT to
transform the xml?
