Okay.. I told someone I could do this in a simple xpath expression
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<a>
<b>
<c>2</c>
<d>4</d>
</b>
<b>
<c>3</c>
<d>6</d>
</b>
</a>
Where the xpath was to return (2*4) + (3*6) = 26
I made several attempts with xpath's sum() function (using 1.0) and
couldn't get it.
I couldn't even come up with an expression that I thought might work..
even though I tried several which I was certain would fail (which did).
Any ideas?
