[NTG-context] xml path expression

8 Jun 2010

      I would like to combine the xml path search of two different levels.
An example, the xml can be either
   case #1: <main> <a> <b><c/></b> <b><c/></b> </a> </main>
or
   case #2: <main> <b><c/></b> <b><c/></b> </main>

Now I want to process the <c> elements from the <main> level and loop  
through them with the position function:
   \xmlfilter{#1}{/(a/b|b)/name/position(\the\scratchcounter)}
This however does not work, I tried various path expressions, for  
example with * but to no avail.

Is there a path expression that can select either /a/b or /b ?
