XPath - refer to contents of cells as values

HI,

I'm new to xpath queries, and have run into an issue I thought people
might be able to put me back on track with:

I have a chunk of xml that goes something like

<table>
     <col>keycol</col>
     <col>valuecol</col>
     <tr>
            <td>1</td>
            <td>value1</td>
     </tr>
     <tr>
            <td>2</td>
            <td>value2</td>
     </tr>
</table>


I'd like to be able to query this as one would a table in SQL something
like "select valuecol from table where keycol=2"

but I need this in an xpath so /table/tr/td

I understand how to do this with properties (then it would be easy to
write something like /table/tr/td[@keycol=2]/@value) but how can I
refer to the contents of a cell as a property in a similar way.

Thanks in advance for just reading this, even more if you help.

Cheers
Someone
