I am sorry it took me so long to play with this... But it still doesn't
do what I need. My problem is still: from a given element, I need to
grab the content of an attribute that may be two or three or four levels
up in the xml tree. The code below (adapted from Hans) still only works
for a parent, but I need access to an "ancestor."
