How do you do that if you don't know how far back up the tree they are?

ancestor-or-self::*[@id][1]/@id

selects the nearest id attribute.

Ok, thanks. Does that mean it finds the nearest id attribute for any node? Can I specify that it's the id attribute from the nearest "ObjectType" node?

Would that be

ancestor-or-self::*[ObjectType][1]/@id

What purpose does the [1] serve?

Thanks again,
Nick
