RE: [xsl] Saxon parser

Your syntax is incorrect. Ancestor is an axis that must be 
followed by ":node-type". I'm not sure exactly what you 
want to select, but it looks like you want to select and 
ancestor named Element that contains an attribute with an
value named attribute. If that is what you want to 
select, the syntax should be: 

<xsl:value-of select="ancestor:Element[@attribute]"/>
