that actually seems to have worked!!
But i thought that an xpath like SubSection[*[@filter='filter1']] is read as,
a SubSection element that contains any children having a filter attribute
equal to 'filter1'.
Yes, exactly.
But that's not what you want. What you want is to match a SubSection
element that contains any _descendant_ having a filter attribute equal
to 'filter1'. A grandchild is not a child.
In my recent example, the leftmost SubSection does not have a child
with @filter="filter1", but it has a grandchild (or more general, a
descendant) with @filter="filter1":
SubSection/SubSection/SubSection[@filter='filter1']
