The ancestor-or-self Axis

The ancestor-or-self axis selects the context node and all nodes that contain it. For example, id("p1")/ancestor-or-self::* selects a node set including Domeniquette Celeste Baudean's PERSON element that has ID p1, its parent, the FAMILYTREE element, and its parent, the root node. There's also no abbreviation for the ancestor-or-self axis.
