Hello Michael,

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

Or if you prefer, (ancestor-or-self::*/@data)[last()]
Which one is faster, if any?

Depends on your processor. You'll have to measure it and see. My guess for Saxon is the version using [last()], but I might be wrong. The difference is unlikely to be noticeable unless your tree is very deep.
