Does any one know if Xpath can be used to locate a specific xml element or its attribute and if so reproduce a larger XML fragment (ie including parent nodes and grand parent nodes etc) of which the element is a part of.

Hi,

According with the XPath Specification [1]:
XPath is a language for addressing parts of an XML document, designed to be used by both XSLT and XPointer.

You can use XSLT to accomplish what you described in your post.

Does any one know if XQuery can perform this task on its own?

Hi,

Yes, you can use also XQuery for that.
