I don't think "except" works because that would be everything before and
after but not current.
You're right it doesn't work...
The only non-sibling-recursion technique I can think of now is a no-op
template along the lines of:
<xsl:template match="*[. >> $target]"/>
Would "up to" cover off your concerns for procedural connotations?
hmm now that I've understood it a little better, maybe 'remove', eg
select="//* remove *[. >> $target]"
