In the documents I am using I know that there are no inputform elements
inside other inputform elements, so all input elements have only one
inputform ancestor. Therefore, for each input node the node-sets
ancestor::inputform and current()/ancestor::inputform each contain only one
node. 

Or am I wrong again :-(
