"Siblings" was my first reaction too (the sibling axes and/or
children-of-same-parent). However, if one takes a deeper "slice", nodes at
the same depth may not actually be siblings. For example, see C and E in:
<a>
<b>
<C/>
</b>
<d FOO="bar">
<E/>
</d>
</a>
If that's what's intended, I'm not sure what the best XPath expression
would be. One approach is "nodes with same number of ancestors as this
one", but you'd need to think about whether the attribute FOO is considered
part of the same slice as C and E.
