Yeah well, this wasn't the important thing, but the syntax with the wildcard.
The best would be: _officesXML..*.(attribute(name) == "NJ Agency") It will search in everything and won't throw an error if the property name doesn't exist. If the name is not unique, it will a problem though, or you will have to test the length() of the result and make action with it if more than 1.
