Ferran, "ancestor" is the name of an XPath axis using non-abbreviated syntax.
As you may read in http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath ... "the ancestor axis contains the ancestors of the context node; the ancestors of the context node consist of the parent of context node and the parent's parent and so on; thus, the ancestor axis will always include the root node, unless the context node is the root node" Best regards, P.S.
