XPath expression to "select all"?

From: "JS" <sss@---.--->
To: NULL
Date: 5/4/2009 11:17:00 PM
I have this XML file:

   <root id="root" >
        <head>
          <section secid="section">
            <subsection>
              <item order="0">
                <data id="D1" value="red"/>
                <data id="D2" value="blue"/>
              </item>
              <item order="1">
                <data id="D1" value="green"/>
                <data id="D2" value="yellow"/>
              </item>
              <item order="2">
                <data id="D1" value="black"/>
                <data id="D2" value="white"/>
              </item>
            </subsection>
          </section>
        </head>
      </root>

I would like to create a XPath expression that selects all values where data 
id="D1". The result should be:

red
green
black

I have tried something like (assuming that we are standing in root):

/head/section/subsection/item/data[@id="D1"]/@value

but it only returns the first value:

red

How do I get the values from the remaining item elements?
