I don't think so, XPath 1.0 gives you a set of nodes where duplicates are eliminated so you don't get the result you want, namely a list with the same "name" attribute node of the same "chapter" element contained twice.

I have a xpath expression that searches a xml file for the word 'faa'. Using pure xpath 1.0, I want to be able to search each section element that has the word 'faa' in the name attribute. I want to return the @name of the ancestor chapter/@name for each section.
This expression only returns a count of 1
/data/volume/chapter/section/@name[contains(translate(.,'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ','abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'), 'faa')]/ancestor::chapter/@name
while this returns a count of 2.
/data/volume/chapter/section/@name[contains(translate(.,'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ','abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'), 'faa')]
I understand why I am not getting the desired result, but not sure how to get it.
Desired result:
Chapter 1. Handbook Organization, Use, and Revision Chapter 1. Handbook Organization, Use, and Revision
Is this possible with using a single xpath expression?
I don't think so, XPath 1.0 gives you a set of nodes where duplicates are eliminated so you don't get the result you want, namely a list with the same "name" attribute node of the same "chapter" element contained twice.
