The descendant-or-self Axis

The descendant-or-self axis searches through all the descendants of the context node, starting with the context node itself, until it finds the requested element. For example, id("p11")/descendant-or-self::PERSON refers to all PERSON children of the element with ID p11 as well as that element itself, since it is of type PERSON. There is no abbreviation for descendant-or-self.
